About this opportunity
The Military Sealift Command (MSC), a component of the Department of the Navy, is seeking ocean-going tug services to transport a YRBM-32 berthing barge from Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam to Puget Sound Naval Shipyard during January 5-23, 2026. The procuring agency requires a U.S. flag, ocean-going certified tugboat built in 1970 or later, capable of towing a 688-metric-ton barge at a minimum speed of six knots. Interested vendors must submit comprehensive proposals including vessel specifications, detailed transit plans, pricing information, business size documentation, and other required materials to the point of contact David C. Anaya by 1100 hours Eastern Time on November 18, 2025. Key requirements include providing a complete towing package meeting U.S. Navy Towing Manual specifications, conducting a pre-tow conference with Navy representatives, submitting detailed position reports throughout the transit, and engaging an Independent Marine Surveyor to oversee vessel preparations. Evaluation will prioritize compliance with Navy specifications, vessel capability and certification status, transit plan feasibility, and pricing competitiveness.
No set-aside designations apply to this procurement. The solicitation does not identify current contractors or incumbents, nor does it specify an award value or budget range in the available documentation. The primary numerical parameters defining the scope are the 688-metric-ton barge weight, the six-knot minimum towing speed requirement, and the compressed 18-day service window in January 2026. The small business size standard for this water transportation service is established at 1,050 employees under NAICS code 483111 (Deep Sea Freight Transportation). The due date for proposal submission is November 18, 2026, providing interested parties approximately one year from the posting date to prepare and submit their bids.
