About this opportunity
The Military Sealift Command (MSC) is seeking a U.S. flag, self-sustaining combination container/breakbulk vessel to support military sustainment operations on Diego Garcia. The vessel must have a minimum capacity of 230 TEU containers, including 50 refrigerated containers, and be able to carry 100,000 cubic feet of cargo with 10-foot overhead clearance. Key technical requirements include at least two cranes with a 30 LT SWL capacity, a minimum speed of 15-16 knots when laden, an 8,000 nautical mile operating range, and a maximum draft of 35 feet. The contract will require the vessel to operate in the Far East/Indian Ocean region, with a primary port in Singapore, and must be capable of carrying hazardous cargo and breakbulk ammunition. Responses to the Sources Sought Notice are due by 1:00 PM EST on February 20, 2025, with the government evaluating potential contractors' ability to meet these specific maritime logistics requirements.
The procurement is limited to small businesses with 1,050 employees or less under NAICS code 483111 for Deep Sea Freight Transportation. The initial contract period is scheduled from July 15, 2025, to July 14, 2026, with potential extension options including three one-year renewals and an additional 11-month period that could extend the contract through June 13, 2030. The contract will be structured as a firm-fixed-price arrangement with reimbursable elements for fuel and port costs. The vessel must provide accommodations for two supercargo personnel and be capable of transporting heavy vehicles up to M-1 tanks. While specific award values are not disclosed in the pre-solicitation notice, the comprehensive requirements suggest a significant maritime logistics contract aimed at supporting military operations in the Diego Garcia region.
