About this opportunity
The Department of the Navy's Military Sealift Command is seeking a dry cargo voyage charter for transporting ammunition, specifically requiring a U.S. or foreign flag vessel capable of carrying a minimum of 204 ammunition TEUs (Twenty-foot Equivalent Units). The solicitation, identified as N3220525R4036, is currently in the pre-solicitation phase and will be released for small businesses on February 4, 2025. The vessel must meet strict HAZMAT compatibility and segregation regulatory requirements, demonstrating complex logistics and safety specifications. The contract will be awarded by Brandon Page, the designated contracting officer, who can be reached at brandon.a.page.civ@us.navy.mil. While specific evaluation criteria are not explicitly detailed in the pre-solicitation notice, the requirements suggest a focus on vessel capacity, safety compliance, and maritime transportation capabilities.
The opportunity is designated as a Total Small Business Set-Aside, determined based on responses from a recent sources sought notice. The charter involves a single voyage with multiple discharge locations, including Naval Magazine in Indian Island, Washington as the load port, and subsequent stops in Tengan, Okinawa, Japan and Apra Harbor, Guam. The charter period's laydays are specified as a two-day window, with an Available Load Date of April 7, 2025, and Latest Arrival Dates ranging from May 4 to May 23, 2025. While the exact contract award dollar amount is to be determined (T.B.D.), the specificity of the routing and cargo requirements suggests a significant maritime logistics operation. The contract falls under the Deep Sea Freight Transportation NAICS category (483111) and the Transportation/Travel/Relocation Marine Charter Product Service Code (V124).
