About this opportunity
The Department of the Navy Military Sealift Command is seeking to procure a 90-day time charter for one clean, double-hull tanker vessel capable of carrying a minimum of 40,000 barrels of clean product, specifically JP8 fuel. The vessel must be U.S. or foreign flag registered, equipped with an inert gas system and segregated ballast tanks, and feature double valve isolation in designated cargo tanks to ensure product segregation. This is an unrestricted procurement open to all responsible sources, with responses due by March 4, 2026. The contracting officers are David Anaya and Christopher Tomlin, who can be reached for questions regarding vessel specifications and performance requirements. Key dates include laydays commencing March 24, 2026, and cancellation on March 25, 2026, with performance to occur in the Western Pacific/Sea of Japan region with intentions to utilize Hakozaki, Japan as the delivery and redelivery location.
This procurement carries no set-aside designation, and no incumbent contractor or specific vessel has been identified at this presolicitation stage. The contract award dollar amount, final solicitation number, and award date remain to be determined and will be announced in the formal solicitation. The vessel is expected to provide approximately 90 days of service beginning in late March 2026, representing a substantial marine transportation requirement for fuel logistics operations in the Western Pacific. The unrestricted nature of this procurement indicates the Contracting Officer's market research supports competition among all qualified vessel operators, and the Director of Small Business Programs has concurred with this approach to maximize competition and cost-effectiveness.
