About this opportunity
The Department of the Navy Military Sealift Command is soliciting proposals for dry cargo voyage charter services to transport hazardous materials via container vessel. Solicitation N3220525R6060 seeks one U.S. or foreign flag vessel capable of carrying a minimum of 200 ammunition TEUs, with specific dimensional requirements including a maximum length of 948 feet and draft of 50 feet. The vessel must transport 20-foot ISO shipping containers containing various hazardous materials (including explosive classes 1.1D through 1.4S, flammable liquids class 3, and miscellaneous dangerous goods class 9) from Indian Island, Washington to discharge ports in Tengan, Okinawa, Japan and Apra Harbor, Guam. Key requirements include providing detailed stow plans, ensuring proper hazardous material segregation, being fully bunkered with container lashing gear and 20-foot spreader bars. Evaluation factors include vessel suitability, VISA participation, and regulatory compliance, with proposals due by October 3, 2025 at 11:00 AM Eastern Time.
Despite being classified under NAICS Code 483111 for deep sea freight transportation, this acquisition is structured as a total small business set-aside using FAR 13.5 Simplified Procedures with a firm-fixed-price contract anticipated. The solicitation does not identify any current incumbents or specific contract values, though pricing evaluation will focus on lump-sum freight rates, demurrage rates, and additional operational costs. Loading operations are scheduled to commence on November 12, 2025, with the vessel required to transport approximately 200 TEU containers of ammunition and hazardous materials across the Pacific. Performance will occur from Washington state to military installations in Japan and Guam, with the contractor subject to various federal acquisition regulations, defense provisions, and specific maritime operational requirements including position reporting and compliance with U.S.-Republic of Korea Status of Forces Agreement protocols.
