About this opportunity

Written by GovTribe AI ·

The Department of the Navy's Military Sealift Command is seeking a 33-day dry cargo time charter for a vessel capable of transporting at least 180 TEUs (twenty-foot equivalent units) with specific maritime specifications. The solicitation requires a U.S. or foreign flag vessel with a self-sustaining capability that can meet HAZMAT compatibility and segregation regulations. The vessel must have a laden speed of 13 knots, a maximum overall length not exceeding 1,000 feet, and a maximum laden draft of 31.5 feet. The charter's performance range includes transportation between Hiro, Kure City in Japan, and Military Ocean Terminal Concord, California, with laydays commencing between June 24 and July 10, 2025. The contract's point of contact is Brandon Page, who can be reached at brandon.a.page.civ@us.navy.mil or by phone at 564-226-1239.

This procurement is designated as a Total Small Business Set-Aside, determined based on responses from a recent sources sought notice. The specific contract award dollar amount remains to be determined, as does the ultimate contractor selection. The vessel will operate for approximately 33 days, with the solicitation closing on May 29, 2025. The contract falls under the Deep Sea Freight Transportation NAICS category (483111) and the Transportation/Travel/Relocation Marine Charter Product Service Code (V124). While the exact award value is pending, the opportunity represents a significant maritime logistics contract for a small business capable of meeting the Navy's stringent maritime transportation requirements. The Military Sealift Command will evaluate potential contractors based on their ability to meet the detailed vessel specifications and operational parameters outlined in the pre-solicitation notice.
