About this opportunity
Military Sealift Command (MSC) is conducting market research for a dry cargo voyage charter to transport two U.S. Coast Guard Sentinel-Class 154-foot cutters from Singapore to Panama City, Panama, with responses due August 12, 2026 at 1000 hours Eastern Time. This is a sources sought notice only and does not commit the government to contract or reimburse costs.
MSC seeks pricing and availability for U.S. and foreign flag, self-sustaining vessels capable of loading, transporting, and discharging the cutters (354 long tons full displacement, 9.5-foot loaded draft). Both float-on/float-off (FLO/FLO) and lift-on/lift-off (LO/LO) options are acceptable. Cargo is designated last-on, first-off with a 10-day layday window. Operations must comply with MSC DRYVOY 2026 FLO-FLO Terms and the U.S. Navy Towing Manual.
The contractor must provide cradle, cribbing, blocking, and seafastening; independent marine surveyor services at both ports; towing from Singapore to the loading site and from the offload site; gas-free cargo certification; temporary toilet facilities; and all pricing and technical planning as a fixed-price lump sum. Respondents must submit vessel particulars, detailed stowage graphics, prospective FLO/FLO locations with coordinates, vessel range, estimated load and discharge times, voyage duration, supercargo capacity, lump-sum pricing including independent marine surveyor and securing gear, demurrage rates, layday availability confirmation, company information including small business status, and unique entity identifier. NAICS 483111 (Deep Sea Freight Transportation) applies with a 1,050-employee small business size standard. Amendment 0001, posted August 7, 2026, adds that a drawing is available upon request. Responses should be emailed to LCDR Amy Hutchings at amy.r.hutchings.mil@us.navy.mil or (757) 341-5666.
