The tanker will be chartered for approximately 40 days, with the vessel positioned in the Sea of Japan for pickup and redelivery in the Mediterranean Sea, both at ports and ranges of the Government's choosing.

The closing date for responses is March 12, 2026, and interested parties should direct inquiries to Brandon Page, the contracting officer, at brandon.a.page.civ@us.navy.mil.

The laydays for the vessel commence on April 27, 2026, and cancel on April 28, 2026, establishing a narrow window for vessel availability and acceptance. The specific contract award amount is to be determined pending competitive proposals, and evaluation criteria for proposal selection have not yet been detailed in this pre-solicitation phase. The proposed solicitation number is N3220526R6062, and the contracting office is located at Naval Station Norfolk, Norfolk, Virginia.
