Specifically, the agency requires an ABS certified tug & barge or self-sustaining vessel capable of carrying a minimum of 100 TEUs (Twenty-foot Equivalent Units). The vessel will be chartered for a single voyage, with loading occurring at Naval Magazine, Indian Island, Washington, and discharge scheduled in Valdez, Alaska. The pre-solicitation notice indicates the vessel must be available for loading on April 1, 2025, with a latest arrival date in Valdez of April 11, 2025. The contract opportunity is currently in the pre-solicitation phase, with potential bidders required to submit responses by March 3, 2025, to the designated contracting officer, Matthew Price.
The solicitation is designated as a Total Small Business Set-Aside, which means only small businesses are eligible to compete for this contract. The current contract award dollar amount and specific award date are to be determined (T.B.D.), reflecting the pre-solicitation stage of the procurement process. The laydays for the charter will commence and cancel on March 31, 2025, with the entire charter period covering a single voyage between the specified locations. The procurement falls under the Deep Sea Freight Transportation NAICS category (483111) and the Transportation/Travel/Relocation Marine Charter PSC category. The decision to restrict the solicitation to small businesses was based on responses from a recent sources sought notice, and has been approved by the Military Sealift Command's Deputy Associate Director of Small Business.
