About this opportunity
The Department of the Navy Military Sealift Command is seeking to procure a 60-day tanker time charter for marine transportation services. The procurement requires one clean, approved tanker vessel—either U.S. or foreign-flagged—with a double-hull design, inert gas system, and segregated ballast tanks capable of carrying a minimum of 235,000 barrels of clean product within the vessel's natural segregation in designated cargo tanks with double valve isolation. This is an unrestricted procurement with no set-aside designation, meaning all responsible sources may submit proposals for consideration. The contracting office has not disclosed specific evaluation criteria in this pre-solicitation notice, though prospective offerors should direct technical questions to the Contracting Officer, Nic Hatcher, at eric.n.hatcher2.civ@us.navy.mil or 564-230-3114. Responses to this pre-solicitation notice are due by Wednesday, December 17, 2025, with the formal solicitation expected to follow.
The vessel will be chartered for approximately 60 days with laydays commencing February 5, 2026, and canceling February 6, 2026, with delivery and redelivery points in the Mediterranean Sea at ports in the charterer's option—with intentions for St. Theodore, Greece, and Souda Bay, Crete, respectively. No specific contract award value has been disclosed at this pre-solicitation stage, as the award amount remains to be determined following the formal solicitation process. There are no identified incumbent contractors or current contract holders mentioned in this notice. The solicitation number is proposed as N3220526R6032, though the final contract award number and date remain to be announced. This marine charter requirement falls under NAICS code 483111 (Deep Sea Freight Transportation) and PSC code V124 (Transportation/Travel/Relocation—Marine Charter).
