About this opportunity
The Department of the Navy Military Sealift Command is seeking to procure a 75-day tanker time charter for maritime transportation services in the Mediterranean Sea. The contract requires one clean, approved U.S. or foreign flag double-hull tanker equipped with an Inert Gas System and Segregated Ballast Tanks, capable of carrying a minimum of 235,000 barrels of clean petroleum products including F76, JP5, and/or JA1 fuels. The vessel must have natural segregation capabilities in designated cargo tanks with double valve isolation for safe transport of these military fuel products. The procurement falls under NAICS code 483111 for Deep Sea Freight Transportation and PSC code V124 for Marine Charter services. Interested parties must submit their responses by August 7, 2025, with contract performance expected to begin with laydays commencing September 7 and canceling September 8, 2025.
This procurement is unrestricted with no set-aside designation, meaning all responsible sources may submit proposals for consideration. The contracting officer determined this approach based on market knowledge and research, with concurrence from the Deputy Associate Director of Small Business Programs. Contract award details including the specific dollar amount, contractor selection, and final solicitation number remain to be determined. The charter period is approximately 75 days, with delivery intended at St. Theodore, Greece, and redelivery planned for the Marseilles-Lavera area in France, though final ports remain at the charterer's option within the Mediterranean Sea range. The contract will be managed from the Naval Station Norfolk contracting office, with Tiffany Gallon and Michelle James serving as the primary points of contact.
