About this opportunity
The Military Sealift Command Norfolk is seeking to procure a 30-day tanker vessel time charter through RFP N3220525R6037 to support worldwide transportation and prepositioning of petroleum cargo for military readiness purposes. The solicitation requires one clean, double-hull tanker capable of carrying a minimum of 280,000 barrels of clean product, with specific technical requirements including maximum length of 210 meters, maximum deadweight of 45,000 MT, vessel age less than 20 years, and ability to maintain 13-knot speed in moderate weather. The vessel must meet stringent operational and safety standards, including SIRE system participation, current safety and security certificates, efficient cargo handling equipment, and capability for both pier-side and at-anchor operations. The evaluation will be conducted under FAR 13.5 Simplified Procedures using lowest price technically acceptable criteria, with potential preference for vessels maintained in U.S. shipyards. Proposals are due by August 28, 2025 at 1000 Eastern Time, with all communications conducted exclusively through SAM.gov.
This procurement opportunity does not utilize any set-aside designations and no current contractors or incumbents are identified in the solicitation materials. While specific award values are not disclosed, the government has provided a fuel consumption pricing template with Marine Gas Oil/Marine Diesel Oil priced at $1,068.87 per metric ton, indicating significant operational costs associated with the charter. The charter period is approximately 30 days with laydays scheduled for September 26-27, 2025, and the vessel will operate primarily in the Mediterranean Sea region. The place of performance includes delivery to St. Theodore, Greece and redelivery at Souda Bay, Crete, with overall operations supporting military activities in the Mediterranean theater. The solicitation includes options for additional charter periods beyond the initial 30-day requirement, providing potential for extended contract value.
