About this opportunity
The Department of the Navy Military Sealift Command is seeking a 60-day tanker time charter for marine transportation services in the Western Pacific region. The procurement requires one clean, approved U.S. or foreign flag double-hull tanker with an inert gas system and segregated ballast tanks capable of carrying a minimum of 240,000 barrels of clean petroleum products including JP5, JA1, and F76 fuels within the vessel's natural segregation in designated cargo tanks with double valve isolation. The charter will involve delivery in the Western Pacific/Sea of Japan range with intentions for S-Oil/Onsan, Korea, and redelivery in the same region with intentions for DFSP Hakozaki/Yokohama, Japan. The laydays commence July 22, 2025 and cancel July 29, 2025, with responses to this pre-solicitation notice due by July 3, 2025. The contracting officers for this procurement are David Hamilton and Michelle James, both reachable via provided email addresses and phone numbers.
This procurement is designated as unrestricted with no set-aside provisions, meaning all responsible sources may submit proposals based on the Contracting Officer's market research and knowledge. No current contractors or incumbents are identified in the notice, and specific contract award values have not been disclosed, with both the dollar amount and award date listed as "to be determined" or "to be announced." The 60-day performance period represents the charter duration following the late July 2025 laydays window. The vessel must meet stringent technical specifications including double-hull construction and specialized fuel handling capabilities for military-grade petroleum products. The Deputy Associate Director of Small Business Programs has concurred with the unrestricted procurement approach, indicating this opportunity is open to businesses of all sizes.
