The Department of the Navy Military Sealift Command is seeking to procure a 60-day time charter for one clean, double-hull tanker vessel through an unrestricted procurement open to all responsible sources. The vessel must be U.S. or foreign flag-registered and equipped with an inert gas system and segregated ballast tanks capable of carrying a minimum of 240,000 barrels of clean product, specifically JP5 and JA1 aviation fuel, within designated cargo tanks with double valve isolation. Key contract requirements include compliance with applicable maritime regulations and the ability to operate in the Western Pacific and Sea of Japan region. The Contracting Officer's evaluation will be based on market research and knowledge of available tanker capacity in the specified geographic region. Interested vendors must submit their proposals by Thursday, November 13, 2025, with questions directed to Contracting Officer Jordan Morrison at jordan.a.morrison5.civ@us.navy.mil or 564-230-3633.
This procurement carries no set-aside designation, and no incumbent contractor or potential award value has been identified at this pre-solicitation stage. The vessel is expected to be available for laydays commencing December 8, 2025, with a cancellation date of December 9, 2025, followed by approximately 60 days of service performance. The place of contract performance includes delivery and redelivery options at ports within the Western Pacific region, with tentative intentions for the Hakozaki facility in Japan, though the final port selection remains at the Charterer's option. The contract award dollar amount, contractor selection, and official solicitation number are currently pending and will be determined following the pre-solicitation comment period. The proposed solicitation number is N3220526R6020, with the official award number to be assigned upon contract issuance.
