Interested parties must submit comprehensive company and vessel information, including vessel details, availability, personnel accommodations, fuel consumption rates, daily rates, and Q-88 status by 1300 Eastern Time on 28 April 2025. Responses should be emailed directly to Jordan Schwaner and Reah Norris at their Navy email addresses. This Sources Sought (SS-25-059) is an information-gathering exercise to determine potential options for exercising an existing charter contract.

The charter period comprises one 1-year base period, followed by two additional option periods (one 1-year and one 11-month), with a delivery date of 29 June 2025 in the Sea of Japan/Western Pacific range. While specific award values are not disclosed, the contract involves a time charter for a marine transportation vessel with specific operational requirements. The target vessel must serve as a floating storage platform and meet stringent technical specifications. The procurement process is focused on gathering market intelligence and assessing potential contractor capabilities before potentially exercising an option on an existing charter contract.
