About this opportunity
The Department of the Navy Military Sealift Command (MSC) is soliciting proposals for a 63-day dry cargo time charter to transport military cargo including helicopters, wheeled vehicles, tracked vehicles, and breakbulk materials. The solicitation (RFP N3220526R6025) seeks up to two Roll-On/Roll-Off (RO/RO) vessels capable of carrying 200,000 square feet (21,789.2 short tons) of cargo with a minimum laden speed of 15 knots. Key requirements include providing two supercargos, detailed stow plans, valid vessel certificates, and secure communications equipment, with awards made to vessels that can collectively carry 100 percent of the cargo list. The evaluation will be based on the lowest price technically acceptable proposal, considering factors such as technical capabilities, per diem rates, fuel consumption standards, and compliance with the Voluntary Intermodal Sealift Agreement (VISA) program. Proposals must be submitted by December 2, 2025, at 1100 Eastern Time, and the charter period laydays are scheduled to commence or cancel between January 10-14, 2026.
This solicitation contains no set-aside designations and represents an unrestricted acquisition under Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Parts 12 and 15 with no identified incumbent contractor. The anticipated contract type is firm-fixed-price, with fuel consumption pricing based on a Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) rate of $1,188.68 per metric ton for Marine Gas Oil (MGO) in Fiscal Year 2025. Wage determination requirements apply to maritime personnel, with hourly rates ranging from $12.96 to $91.24 depending on position, and a prevailing minimum wage of $17.75 per hour for contracts entered into or renewed after January 30, 2022. The cargo will be transported from Tacoma, Washington to Port Hueneme, California, with the charter encompassing approximately 33 days of laden underway travel and 30 days of in-port idle time. Performance will occur at Port Hueneme, California, which serves as the destination for this military sealift operation.
