About this opportunity
The Department of the Navy's Military Sealift Command is seeking a 60-day time charter for a tanker vessel capable of transporting clean petroleum products in the Western Pacific region. The solicitation requires a U.S. or foreign flag, double-hull tanker with an inert gas system and segregated ballast tanks, able to carry a minimum of 240,000 barrels of clean products including JP5, JA1, and F76 fuels. The procurement is currently in the pre-solicitation phase, with a response deadline of June 10, 2025, and anticipated laydays between July 8-9, 2025. Potential contractors should be prepared to operate in the Sea of Japan, with potential delivery points including Onsan, Korea, and redelivery at DFSP Hakozaki in Yokohama, Japan. The contract's point of contact includes Matthew Price and Michelle James, who can be reached via provided email and telephone contacts.
The procurement is designated as an unrestricted contract, meaning all responsible sources may submit proposals for consideration. While the specific award dollar amount is currently to be determined (TBD), the contract will utilize Product or Service Code V124 for marine transportation charter services and falls under the Deep Sea Freight Transportation NAICS category. The 60-day performance period suggests a focused, time-sensitive maritime logistics requirement for the Military Sealift Command. No specific set-aside status has been applied, and the Deputy Associate Director of Small Business Programs has concurred with the unrestricted procurement approach. The solicitation number is preliminarily identified as N3220525R6004, though final contract award details remain pending.
