About this opportunity
The Military Sealift Command Norfolk is soliciting proposals for the charter of up to two U.S. or foreign flag Roll-on/Roll-off (RO/RO) vessels to transport military cargo between Gdynia, Poland and Jacksonville, Florida over a 27-day charter period. Each vessel must carry a minimum of 125,000 square feet of military cargo and maintain a minimum laden speed of 15 knots, with laydays scheduled for November 1 or November 4, 2025. The procurement follows FAR Part 12 acquisition procedures under FAR 15 Contracting by Negotiation, utilizing a lowest-price, technically acceptable evaluation methodology where the government intends to award contracts to the two lowest-priced, technically acceptable proposals. Evaluation will be based on charter hire rates for the 27-day period and fuel costs calculated for 16 days laden, zero days ballast, and 11 days in port, with Marine Gas Oil priced at $1,068.87 per metric ton. The proposal submission deadline is September 18, 2025 at 1000 Eastern Time.
This solicitation operates under a no set-aside designation, making it open to all qualified contractors regardless of business size or status. No incumbent contractors or current service providers are identified in the documentation. While specific contract values are not disclosed, the pricing structure includes charter hire rates and fuel consumption costs, with the government providing detailed fuel consumption metrics and Department of Defense Labor wage determinations for maritime workers ranging from $12.96 to $91.24 per hour depending on position. The charter period spans approximately 27 days with vessels required to provide specialized services including two supercargo personnel per vessel, stow plans, and full bunkering capabilities. Performance will occur primarily in international waters between Poland and Florida, with specific requirements for position reporting to multiple Navy email addresses throughout the voyage.
