About this opportunity
Military Sealift Command (MSC) is conducting market research on a 60-day dry cargo time or voyage charter for Roll-On/Roll-Off vessel services, with responses due June 11, 2026. No set-aside is anticipated.
The vessel must accommodate 27,000 square feet of military cargo including helicopters, wheeled vehicles, and breakbulk items, with a 20-foot door to fit CV-22 and MV-22 aircraft. Proposed charter period runs approximately 60 days with laydays commencing or canceling September 1, 2026; pickup and redelivery occur at San Diego, California. MSC seeks information on both U.S. and foreign flag vessel availability and pricing.
Vendors must provide vessel specifications including RO/RO door and main deck height dimensions, proposed layday, militarily useful deck space (based on deck height exceeding 7'5" clearance), supercargo accommodations, and business size classification. For time charter responses, submit daily hire rates, delivery and redelivery bonuses, and fuel consumption rates for underway and inport working conditions. For voyage charter responses, submit lumpsum and demurrage rates. Large businesses must detail possible subcontracting opportunities.
The small business size standard for water transportation services (NAICS 483111) is 1,050 employees. Responses via email are due prior to 11:00 AM Eastern Time on June 11, 2026, to David Hamilton at david.k.hamilton19.civ@us.navy.mil or (564) 230-3260. This is market research only and does not commit the government to payment or contract award.
