38-day Dry Cargo Time Charter

This notice seeks 38-day dry cargo time charter services for the Department of the Navy Military Sealift Command. The solicitation will require U.S. or foreign flag, self-sustaining vessel(s) capable of carrying a minimum of 70,000 square feet of military cargo including tracked vehicles, wheeled vehicles, and breakbulk goods. Vessels must have a minimum laden speed of 15 knots to deliver cargo from Alexandroupolis, Greece to Beaumont, TX over a 38-day period of performance between December 4, 2022 and January 10, 2023. Responses to this pre-solicitation notice are due by November 10, 2022.

There is no set-aside designated for this requirement. The NAICS code is 483112 and the PSC code is V-Transportation, Travel, & Relocation services. As the recent sources sought notice did not yield sufficient responses, this solicitation will be unrestricted. The contract value and number of vessels procured are to be determined, but will carry a minimum of 236,964 square feet of military cargo over multiple vessel charters not to exceed two vessels or the government's needs. The Small Business Administration Procurement Center Representative has concurred with the decision to solicit responses without restriction.
