About this opportunity

The Military Sealift Command (MSC) is seeking to charter a shallow draft tanker for Defense Logistics Agency-Energy operations in the Sea of Japan/Western Pacific region. The solicitation requires a U.S. flagged, double-hull tanker capable of carrying a minimum of 40,000 barrels of various fuel types (JP8, JP5, JA1, or F76) with specific vessel specifications including a maximum length of 108 meters and a maximum deadweight of 8,000 metric tons. Interested maritime transportation providers must submit detailed company and vessel information, including vessel specifications, availability, daily rates, and alternative proposals by 1300 Eastern Time on 24 April 2025. The vessel must have a minimum speed of 12 knots and be positioned for delivery by 16 June 2025. Evaluation criteria will likely focus on vessel capabilities, operational readiness, and compliance with the specified technical requirements.

The contract is not designated for any specific set-aside category and is classified under the Deep Sea Freight Transportation NAICS code 483111. The proposed charter structure includes one 1-year base period, followed by two additional option periods of one year and eleven months respectively. While specific award values are not disclosed in the pre-solicitation notice, the contract will involve daily charter rates for the marine transportation service. The total potential contract duration could extend to approximately 2 years and 11 months, depending on option period exercise. The procurement is being managed by the MSC Norfolk Strategic Sealift Program Support Office, with responses to be submitted via email to specified Navy contacts. Potential bidders will need to demonstrate their ability to meet the stringent vessel specifications and operational requirements outlined in the sources sought notice.
