About this opportunity
The Military Sealift Command (MSC) has issued a Sources Sought Notice for a Dry Cargo Voyage Charter to transport two non-self-propelled Yard Oiler (YON) fuel oil barges from Beaumont, Texas to Naval Station Guam. The procurement falls under NAICS code 483111 (Deep Sea Freight Transportation) and requires respondents to provide vessel details, execution plans, stowage areas, intended routes, vessel range capabilities, and estimated transit times. Interested parties must submit comprehensive lump-sum pricing that covers all aspects of loading, securing, and discharging the barges, along with providing necessary equipment including cradle/cribbing, seafastening, lashing straps, line handlers, and gas-free certification. Both U.S. and foreign flag vessels are eligible to respond, including float-on/float-off (FLO/FLO) vessels and self-sustaining vessels/tug-barges, with all operations required to adhere to U.S. Navy Towing Manual guidelines. The deadline for responses is 1:00 PM Eastern Time on July 15, 2025, with submissions required via email to the designated point of contact.
This opportunity does not utilize any set-aside designation and emphasizes small business participation, with the small business size standard established at 1,050 employees for the applicable NAICS code. The loading window is scheduled between September 15-30, 2025, providing contractors with a two-week timeframe to load the barges in Beaumont, Texas. The transportation requirement involves moving two fuel oil barges across the Pacific Ocean to Naval Station Guam, representing a significant maritime logistics operation. No incumbent contractors or current service providers are identified in the notice, and no specific award values or budget ranges have been disclosed at this pre-solicitation stage. The government files do not contain information about potential contract values or previous similar contract awards that might indicate the expected procurement budget.
