About this opportunity
The Department of the Navy Military Sealift Command is soliciting a 30-day dry cargo time charter for a U.S. or foreign flag vessel capable of carrying a minimum of 350 TEUs of containerized ammunition while meeting all applicable HAZMAT compatibility and segregation requirements. The vessel must be self-sustaining and demonstrate the ability to meet specified layday dates commencing and canceling on December 16, 2025. Key contract requirements include pickup at Military Ocean Terminal Sunny Point, North Carolina, with redelivery in Gdansk, Poland, and vessel owners must provide estimated time of arrival confirmation. The pre-solicitation notice does not specify detailed evaluation criteria beyond regulatory compliance and operational capability. Interested parties must submit responses by Thursday, October 30, 2025, with inquiries directed to Brandon Page at brandon.a.page.civ@us.navy.mil or 564-226-1239.
This procurement is designated as a Total Small Business Set-Aside based on prior sources sought responses and concurrence from MSC's Deputy Associate Director of Small Business Programs, restricting competition to eligible small businesses. No incumbent contractor or current contractor information is provided in the pre-solicitation notice. The contract award dollar amount and final contract number remain to be determined, with the award date listed as "TBA." The anticipated period of performance is approximately 30 days from the commencement date of December 16, 2025, making this a relatively short-term charter requirement for specialized hazardous cargo transportation services.
