About this opportunity
The Department of the Navy's Military Sealift Command is soliciting proposals for a 60-day tanker time charter to transport and preposition petroleum cargo for military readiness purposes. The solicitation (RFP N3220526R6032, Revision 1) seeks a clean, approved double-hull tanker vessel with a minimum cargo capacity of 235,000 barrels, capable of carrying various petroleum products including hazardous cargoes and operating worldwide with a minimum sustained speed of 13 knots in moderate weather. The vessel must meet extensive technical requirements including an Inert Gas System, Segregated Ballast Tanks, a maximum length of 204.80 meters, and maximum deadweight of 40,000 metric tons. Evaluation will be conducted using lowest price technically acceptable criteria, with additional consideration given to vessels that have undergone maintenance work in U.S. shipyards. Proposals must be submitted by December 17, 2025 at 1100 Eastern Time, with the charter period commencing approximately February 5-6, 2026.
This solicitation contains no set-aside designations and represents a commercial item acquisition under FAR 13.5 Simplified Procedures. The contract is anticipated to be firm-fixed-price, with the Full Operational Status daily charter rate and fuel costs to be proposed by offerors based on standardized fuel pricing of $1,188.68 per metric ton for Marine Gas Oil/Marine Diesel Oil. The vessel will be chartered for approximately 60 days, with loading intended at St. Theodore, Greece and discharge at Souda Bay, Crete, positioning the place of performance in the Mediterranean Sea region. The RFP includes detailed fuel consumption pricing spreadsheets across various operational states—including laden voyages, ballast operations, auxiliary functions, and port-based loading and discharging activities—to facilitate accurate cost estimation by prospective bidders. Both U.S. and foreign flag vessels are eligible for consideration under this procurement.
