About this opportunity
The Department of the Navy Military Sealift Command is soliciting proposals for up to three firm-fixed-price spot charter contracts for roll-on/roll-off (RoRo) vessels capable of transporting approximately 450,000 square feet of military cargo, including wheeled vehicles, tracked vehicles, and breakbulk cargo. Vessels must demonstrate a minimum laden speed of 15 knots and meet one of three layday windows commencing March 25, 29, or April 3, 2026, with a charter period of approximately 51 days. The solicitation, numbered N3220526R6040, is being conducted under FAR Part 12 using FAR 15 negotiated contracting procedures. Evaluation will be based on total charter hire, fuel costs, bonuses, and cargo capacity, calculated as a per-percentage-by-square-feet rate, with fuel consumption assumptions of 37 days underway laden and 14 days in port idle using Marine Gas Oil (MGO) priced at $1,188.68 per metric ton. Offerors must submit proposals by January 29, 2026, at 1000 Eastern Time, with required documentation including ship name, price, detailed stow plan with trim and stability calculations, Certificate of Inspection, vessel itinerary, and acknowledgment of meeting all requirements.
This solicitation uses no set-aside designations and does not identify any current incumbents. The specific award value is not disclosed in the solicitation materials, though the evaluation methodology accounts for charter hire, fuel consumption across multiple operational categories (laden underway, ballast underway, auxiliary fuel, and port idle operations), and applicable bonuses. The charter services will span approximately 51 days with redelivery at Beaumont, Texas, serving as both the loading port and final destination. Place of performance is designated as Texas, USA, with cargo loading and discharge operations at Beaumont. Special requirements include a minimum of two supercargo personnel per vessel, fully bunkered fuel, and provision of lashing gear, with contractors required to comply with service contract labor standards, combating trafficking in persons clauses, and preference provisions for U.S.-flag commercial vessels.
