The Military Sealift Command (MSC), a division of the Department of the Navy, is seeking a 25-day dry cargo time charter for vessel services capable of transporting military cargo including helicopters, wheeled vehicles, and breakbulk materials. The solicitation targets U.S. and foreign flag, self-sustaining vessels with a capacity of 110,215 square feet of deck space to transport cargo from Gdansk, Poland to Beaumont, Texas. Interested parties must submit detailed vessel information including daily charter hire rates, fuel consumption, deck space specifications, supercargo accommodations, and business size status by 1100 hours Eastern Time on January 12, 2026. The government will evaluate responses based on vessel specifications, pricing, and capability to meet cargo requirements, with this notice explicitly stated as market research that does not commit the government to contract for services. Respondents should note that this is a sources sought notice designed to gather market information rather than a formal solicitation.
No set-aside designation has been applied to this procurement opportunity. The charter period is scheduled to commence or cancel on March 27, 2026, providing vendors approximately 50 days to prepare vessel availability if selected. While no specific award value or budget range is disclosed in the sources sought notice, the requirement involves a specialized 25-day charter operation, indicating a substantial service commitment. Small businesses are defined under NAICS code 483111 (Deep Sea Freight Transportation) with an employee limitation of 1,050 employees, while large businesses are encouraged to identify potential subcontracting opportunities. Interested parties should contact Tiffany Gallon, the government point of contact, at tiffany.n.gallon.civ@us.navy.mil or (564) 226-8986 for additional information regarding vessel requirements and specifications.
