About this opportunity
The Department of the Navy's Military Sealift Command is seeking a 60-day time charter for a tanker vessel to operate in the Western Pacific and Sea of Japan. The pre-solicitation notice outlines requirements for a clean, double-hull tanker with an inert gas system and segregated ballast tanks, capable of carrying a minimum of 240,000 barrels of clean product (specifically JP5, JA1, and F76). The vessel must have double valve isolation and be either a U.S. or foreign-flagged ship. The contract is currently in the pre-solicitation phase, with a response deadline of April 23, 2025, and projected laydays from May 8-9, 2025. The primary point of contact is Jordan Morrison, who can be reached at jordan.a.morrison5.civ@us.navy.mil or 564-230-3633.
The procurement is designated as unrestricted, meaning all responsible sources may submit proposals for consideration. Specific delivery intentions include S-Oil in Onsan, Korea, with redelivery planned at DFSP Hakozaki in Yokohama, Japan. While the exact contract award dollar amount is to be determined (TBD), the procurement falls under the Deep Sea Freight Transportation NAICS category (483111) and the Marine Charter Product Service Code (V124). The Small Business Administration Procurement Center Representative has already concurred with the unrestricted status of the solicitation. The total performance period is anticipated to be approximately 60 days, with the specific contractor and final award details still pending finalization.
