About this opportunity
The Department of the Navy Military Sealift Command is seeking to procure a dry cargo voyage charter service for military transportation needs. The agency requires one U.S. or foreign flag roll-on/roll-off vessel capable of carrying 141,000 square feet of military cargo, including helicopters, wheeled vehicles, and breakbulk materials. The vessel must be capable of executing a multi-port voyage beginning with loading at Beaumont, Texas on July 25, 2025, followed by a second loading at Diego Garcia, British Indian Ocean Territory on August 28, 2025. The cargo must then be discharged at two destinations: Ash Shuaybah, Kuwait and Bahrain, Bahrain, both with latest arrival dates of September 17, 2025. This pre-solicitation notice was posted on June 13, 2025, with responses due by June 17, 2025, and the layday commences and cancels on July 24, 2025.
This procurement is designated as unrestricted with no set-aside provisions, meaning all responsible sources may submit proposals for consideration. The decision to release this as an unrestricted procurement was based on responses received from a recent sources sought notice, and the Small Business Administration's Procurement Center Representative has concurred with this approach. The contract award dollar amount and contractor selection remain to be determined, with the proposed solicitation number N3220525R4099. The period of performance is limited to one voyage, spanning approximately two months from the initial loading date to the final discharge requirements. Contracting officers Matthew Price and Robbin Jefferson are serving as the primary points of contact for this opportunity, operating from Naval Station Norfolk, Virginia.
