45-day Tanker Time Charter

The Military Sealift Command seeks offers for a 45-day time charter of a tanker vessel capable of carrying a minimum of 36,000 barrels to transport petroleum products between ports in Japan and Korea. Offerors must demonstrate the vessel meets specifications and certifications, and provide documentation of qualifications including quality certificates from the last three cargoes. Pricing proposals will be evaluated based on the charter hire rate and estimated fuel costs calculated using the template provided. Offers must be submitted by February 2, 2022 for the firm-fixed price contract which will have a 45-day period of performance.

There is no set-aside designated for this requirement. The NAICS code is 483211 and PSC code is S206. The place of performance will be Japan. The solicitation template indicates standard fuel prices to use in cost calculations, but does not provide budget ranges. No incumbent is named, but the short-term charter suggests this is not a recompete. The level of detail in specifications and templates point to an experienced contractor familiar with Military Sealift Command's tanker needs in the region.
