About this opportunity
The Department of the Navy Military Sealift Command is seeking a U.S. flag vessel to provide logistics support transportation between Port Canaveral, Florida and the Navy's Atlantic Undersea Test and Evaluation Center (AUTEC) on Andros Island, Bahamas. The vessel must be a self-sustaining, single-hull ship or tug/barge type with roll-on/roll-off capabilities, not exceeding 220 feet in length and 55 feet in beam. Specific vessel requirements include the ability to transport a minimum of 700 tons of mixed cargo, including vehicles up to 60 long tons, hazardous materials, and construction equipment, with 5000 square feet of open deck space and a fixed bow/stern ramp at least 12 feet wide. Responses are due by 1:00 PM EST on February 5, 2025, and must include comprehensive company information, detailed vessel specifications, proposed charter rates, and fuel consumption rates. The solicitation will evaluate submissions based on the vessel's technical capabilities, operational readiness, and compliance with the specified maritime requirements.
The contract has a base period of performance from June 3, 2025 to June 2, 2026, with additional option periods extending potentially through May 2, 2030. There is no specific set-aside for small businesses, though the NAICS code 483111 has a small business size standard of 1,050 employees. The vessel must maintain a minimum shaft horsepower of 1400 and be capable of maintaining 8 knots when fully laden, with the ability to dock and undock unassisted at AUTEC facilities with 20-foot channel depth and 15-foot pier depth. While specific award values are not detailed in the pre-solicitation notice, the comprehensive requirements suggest a complex and specialized maritime logistics support contract. Potential bidders will need to demonstrate substantial maritime capabilities, including vessel specifications, operational flexibility, and competitive pricing to be considered for this strategic transportation support mission.
