About this opportunity

The Department of the Navy's Military Sealift Command is seeking a Jones Act compliant marine charter for a tanker vessel capable of transporting JP5 fuel. The procurement involves a U.S. flag vessel that meets specific maritime requirements, including an Articulated Tug and Barge (ATB), Integrated Tug and Barge (ITB), or double-hull tanker configuration with an inert gas system and segregated ballast tanks. The vessel must have the capacity to carry a minimum of 51,000 barrels of JP5 fuel within its designated cargo tanks. The pre-solicitation notice was posted on November 26, 2024, with responses due by December 3, 2024. The primary point of contact for this opportunity is David Hamilton, who can be reached at david.k.hamilton19.civ@us.navy.mil for any questions or clarifications.

The contract is being released as an unrestricted procurement, meaning all responsible sources may submit proposals. The specific voyage will involve loading cargo in Selby, California, and discharging in Anchorage, Alaska, with laydays scheduled for January 3-4, 2025. While the exact contract award amount is currently to be determined (T.B.D.), the procurement is classified under the Deep Sea Freight Transportation NAICS category (483111). The proposed solicitation number is N3220525R4019, and the contract will cover a single voyage period. The Military Sealift Command has determined that this opportunity is open to all qualified vendors based on responses from a recent sources sought notice, with the agency's Small Business Programs office concurring with the unrestricted approach.
