About this opportunity
The Department of the Navy Military Sealift Command is seeking to evaluate options for an extended-term tanker time charter service for East Coast operations. This pre-solicitation notice serves as a sources sought announcement to determine whether the government will exercise an option on an existing charter contract. The procurement falls under the Deep Sea Freight Transportation category (NAICS 483111) and the Transportation/Travel/Relocation - Marine Charter product service code (V124). Interested vendors are required to submit responses by December 11, 2025, providing the government with information necessary to assess the viability of continuing the current charter arrangement. The evaluation will focus on the contractor's capability to maintain tanker services that meet Military Sealift Command's operational requirements. Key considerations for evaluation include the vendor's experience in marine charter services, vessel specifications, crew qualifications, and compliance with Navy standards and regulations.
This opportunity does not utilize any small business set-asides. While the pre-solicitation notice does not disclose the incumbent contractor's name or specific award values in the summary provided, the government references an existing charter contract with an available option period, indicating that a current vendor relationship is already in place. The attached SS-26-026.pdf document contains additional details regarding vessel requirements, contract terms, operational scope, and budget parameters that will inform the government's option exercise decision. Organizations interested in responding to this sources sought notice should review the full documentation to understand the specific technical and operational requirements for the extended-term tanker charter service. Prospective offerors should be prepared to demonstrate their qualifications and readiness to support Military Sealift Command's maritime transportation objectives along the East Coast.
