About this opportunity
The Military Sealift Command is seeking a U.S. flag, ice-class tanker for an extended-term time charter to transport clean petroleum products. The required vessel must be a double-hull tanker with specific technical capabilities, including the ability to carry a minimum of 250,000 barrels of fuels such as JP8, JP5, JA1, and F76. Vessel qualifications include an ice-class rating of GL-E2/ABS-B0/F-S-1B, maximum age of 20 years, MARPOL/SOLAS/IMO Polar Code compliance, and specific dimensional constraints not exceeding 200m length and 50m beam. The charter period is set from 21 March 2025 to 20 March 2026, with an option to extend through 18 February 2027. Responses to the Sources Sought Notice (SS-25-019) are due by 1400 Eastern Time on 22 January 2025, with the vessel expected to operate in the Mediterranean Sea, specifically around Piraeus, Greece, and Souda Bay, Crete.
The pre-solicitation notice indicates no specific set-aside for small businesses, though the NAICS category (483111) has a small business size standard of 1,050 employees. The vessel must meet rigorous technical requirements, including a minimum speed of 13 knots when laden, specific cargo loading capabilities for different fuel types, and a crane with a 10-ton lifting capacity. While no specific award value is mentioned, the vessel must be capable of calling on McMurdo, Antarctica, suggesting complex operational requirements. The procurement falls under the Deep Sea Freight Transportation category and the Marine Charter transportation classification. The tanker must demonstrate capability to handle multiple fuel types with double valve isolation and possess an inert gas system and segregated ballast tanks, indicating a sophisticated maritime logistics requirement for the Department of the Navy's Military Sealift Command.
