About this opportunity
The Department of the Navy Military Sealift Command is seeking a 57-day dry cargo time charter for a commercial vessel capable of transporting hazardous materials, explosives, ammunition, vehicles, and containers in support of military readiness and worldwide trade operations. The vessel must meet specific specifications including a minimum cargo capacity of 500 TEUs (twenty-foot equivalent units), a maximum length of 1,000 feet, a laden draft not exceeding 31.5 feet, and a minimum laden speed of 13 knots. Offerors must comply with U.S. Coast Guard and international maritime regulations, including the Oil Pollution Act of 1990, and provide valid maritime certifications, recent inspection records, and a detailed stow plan with trim and stability calculations. The Government will evaluate proposals on a best-value basis considering charter hire rates, fuel costs, and solicitation compliance, with preference given to Voluntary Intermodal Sealift Agreement (VISA) participants and vessels with U.S. shipyard maintenance. The proposal due date is April 16, 2026, at 10:00 AM Eastern Time.
This solicitation is designated as a Total Small Business Set-Aside under NAICS Code 483111 (Deep Sea Freight Transportation). No incumbent contractor is identified in the solicitation documents. The charter period is approximately 57 days with laydays commencing and cancelling on May 27, 2026, and both pickup and redelivery will occur at Military Ocean Terminal Concord, California. The Government has established fuel pricing at $1,500.83 per metric ton for Marine Gas Oil (MGO), with the contractor responsible for submitting detailed fuel consumption data across laden, ballast, and idle operational categories. Compensation will consist of a daily charter hire rate for the base period plus reimbursable fuel costs and port charges, with the exact award value dependent on the winning offeror's proposed charter hire rate and actual fuel consumption during the 57-day period.
