About this opportunity
The Military Sealift Command is seeking a dry cargo voyage charter for transporting shipping containers from Military Ocean Terminal Concord in California to West Loch Wharves in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. The solicitation (N3220525R4053) requires a U.S. Flag, Jones Act compliant vessel capable of carrying a minimum of 120 twenty-foot ISO shipping containers. Specific vessel requirements include ABS certification and the ability to handle containers averaging 23,000 lbs with a maximum weight of 27,000 lbs. The contract will be awarded using simplified procedures for commercial products and services, with offers due by 1:00 PM Eastern Time on March 20, 2025. Evaluation criteria will likely focus on vessel compliance, capacity, and ability to meet the specified transportation requirements between April 28 and May 12, 2025.
The solicitation is not set aside for any specific business category, though it falls under NAICS Code 483111 for Deep Sea Freight Transportation. The contract will be a firm-fixed-price award, with the vessel expected to complete the voyage within a total laytime of 2 days. Special considerations include requirements for detailed stow plans, material handling equipment, and compliance with regulations concerning hazardous material handling. The place of performance spans maritime routes between California and Hawaii, with additional notes about potential imminent danger pay zones in regions like the Red Sea, Bab al-Mandeb Straits, and Gulf of Aden. Wage determinations indicate maritime personnel will be compensated according to detailed Department of Labor specifications, with hourly rates varying by position from approximately $12.96 for Ordinary Seamen to $91.24 for Masters.
