About this opportunity
The Department of the Navy Military Sealift Command has issued Request for Proposal N3220525R6009 seeking a 75-day tanker time charter for one clean, U.S. flag, Jones Act compliant vessel. The solicitation requires either an Articulated Tug and Barge (ATB) or Integrated Tug and Barge (ITB) with Segregated Ballast Tanks capable of carrying a minimum of 150,000 barrels of clean products, with specific technical requirements including maximum length of 198.12 meters, maximum deadweight of 50,000 MT, and ability to maintain 8-10 knots in moderate weather. Offerors must provide comprehensive vessel documentation including recent inspection reports, cargo tank compatibility information, safety certifications, and at least one SIRE inspection within six months prior to charter commencement. The evaluation will be based on charter hire rates, fuel costs, and other pricing elements, with Marine Gas Oil/Marine Diesel Oil priced at $1,068.87 per metric ton. Amendment 0003 has reopened the solicitation with offers due July 24, 2025 at 1000 Eastern Time, following the original June 18, 2025 deadline.
This procurement operates without any set-aside designations and no incumbent contractors are identified in the solicitation documents. While specific award values are not disclosed, the government has provided detailed fuel consumption worksheets and wage determinations indicating substantial contract value given the 75-day charter period and specialized vessel requirements. The charter period is scheduled from July 10-15, 2025 with laydays from August 5-9, 2025, requiring delivery and redelivery in the U.S. Gulf of America with intended operations in Corpus Christi and Houston, Texas. The place of performance is specified as Texas, USA, with the solicitation conducted under FAR 13.5 Simplified Procedures for commercial products and services. Contractors must comply with Department of Labor wage determinations covering various maritime occupational roles with hourly rates ranging from $12.96 to $91.24 depending on position and experience level.
