About this opportunity
The Military Sealift Command is seeking a time charter for an 85-day tanker vessel through a solicitation released on April 16, 2025, with proposals due by April 22, 2025 at 1000 Eastern Time. The agency requires a clean, U.S. Jones Act-compliant vessel such as an Articulated Tug and Barge (ATB), Integrated Tug and Barge (ITB), or double-hull Medium Range (MR) Tanker capable of carrying either 230,000 barrels of clean product (for MR Tankers) or 150,000 barrels (for ITB/ATB vessels). The vessel must meet specific technical requirements, including an Inert Gas System, Segregated Ballast Tanks, maximum length of 201 meters, maximum deadweight of 50,000 MT, and ability to maintain speeds of 13 knots for MR Tankers or 9-10 knots for other vessel types. Evaluation criteria will focus on charter hire rates, fuel costs, and other pricing elements, with a standard fuel price set at $1,068.87 per metric ton for MGO/MDO. The solicitation requires extensive documentation, including recent ship inspections, cargo tank compatibility assessments, and detailed reporting to Navy and Defense Logistics Agency contacts.
The contract is not designated for any specific set-aside and will be performed on the U.S. West Coast, with intended delivery and redelivery locations at Selby and Point Loma, California. The charter period is specifically from June 5, 2025, to June 15, 2025, covering an 85-day timeframe. While no specific incumbent is mentioned, the solicitation falls under the Deep Sea Freight Transportation NAICS category (483111) and Marine Charter PSC category. The vessel must comply with detailed technical, safety, and operational requirements, including provisions for maritime personnel wages as specified in the Department of Labor Wage Determination, which sets minimum wages ranging from $12.96 to $91.24 per hour depending on the maritime occupation. Contractors must also complete comprehensive representations and certifications, including disclosures about business size, ownership, tax status, and compliance with various federal regulations.
