About this opportunity
The Department of the Navy Military Sealift Command is soliciting proposals for a 26-day dry cargo time charter for a commercial vessel capable of transporting military cargo worldwide, including hazardous materials, explosives, ammunition, and containerized goods. The procurement is being conducted under FAR 13.5 Simplified Procedures for commercial products and services, with awards to be made on a firm-fixed-price basis to the technically acceptable offer with the lowest price. Key contract requirements include a U.S. or foreign flag Roll-On/Roll-Off (RO/RO) vessel with minimum cargo capacity of 107,000 square feet and minimum laden speed of 15 knots, along with provision of two supercargos and a detailed stow plan. Evaluation criteria prioritize vessel technical capabilities, VISA (Voluntary Intermodal Sealift Agreement) status, per diem rates, fuel consumption efficiency, and the extent of shipyard maintenance performed in U.S. shipyards. The proposal due date is December 30, 2025, with laydays commencing or cancelling on January 27, 2026, and the charter period includes an option to extend up to 59 months total.
This solicitation does not include a small business set-aside. The vessel will transport cargo from Everett, Washington to Subic Bay in the Philippines over the 26-day charter period, with Marine Gas Oil/Marine Diesel Oil priced at $1,188.68 per metric ton for fuel cost calculations. No specific incumbent contractor or award value range is identified in the solicitation materials. The cargo route includes designation of the Red Sea, Bab al-Mandeb Straits, and Gulf of Aden as imminent danger pay locations, which contractors must account for in their proposals. Offerors must submit minimum documentation including ship name, price, and authorized signature by the December 30, 2025 deadline, with performance to be based in Washington, USA.
