About this opportunity
The Department of the Navy Military Sealift Command is seeking to procure a 75-day tanker time charter service through pre-solicitation notice N3220525R6009. The procurement requires one clean, approved U.S. flag vessel that is Jones Act compliant, specifically an ATB/ITB (Articulated Tug Barge/Integrated Tug Barge) with segregated ballast tanks capable of carrying a minimum of 150,000 barrels of clean petroleum products including JA1, JP5, and F76 fuels. The vessel must feature natural segregation in designated cargo tanks with double valve isolation for safe transport of these military fuel products. The contract performance will involve delivery from the US Gulf Coast range with intended pickup at Corpus Christi, Texas, and redelivery at Houston, Texas, with laydays commencing July 10 and canceling July 15, 2025. Interested parties must submit their responses by Wednesday, June 18, 2025, with Jordan Morrison serving as the contracting officer point of contact.
This procurement is designated as unrestricted with no set-aside provisions, meaning all responsible sources may submit proposals for consideration by the agency after the Small Business Administration Procurement Center Representative concurred with this approach. No incumbent contractor or potential awardees are identified in the pre-solicitation notice, and the contract award dollar amount remains to be determined. The service period is specified as approximately 75 days following the vessel's delivery during the mid-July 2025 laydays window. The minimum cargo capacity requirement of 150,000 barrels represents a substantial fuel transportation operation, reflecting the military's significant logistical needs for petroleum products. The contracting office is located at Naval Station Norfolk, Virginia, indicating this procurement supports East Coast naval operations despite the Gulf Coast performance locations.
