About this opportunity
The Military Sealift Command Norfolk Strategic Sealift Program Support Office is conducting a sources sought notice to gather information on medium range tanker time charter services with extended term options. The procurement seeks a clean, U.S. flagged double hull medium range tanker capable of carrying a minimum of 310 barrels of various fuel types including JP8, JP5, JA1, or F76. Key vessel requirements include being 20 years old or less, not exceeding 190 meters in length or 50,000 metric tons deadweight tonnage, having minimum 3 segregations with double valve isolation, possessing at least 10-ton boom lift capacity, and maintaining 13 knots minimum speed while laden. The vessel must also be capable of serving as afloat storage and conducting simultaneous CONSOL operations at two stations while underway. Interested parties must submit responses by 10 AM Eastern Time on August 14, 2025, including company information, small business status, vessel specifications, daily fuel consumption rates, and daily charter rates plus bonuses.
This procurement does not utilize any small business set-aside designation, operating under NAICS code 483111 with a small business size standard of 1,050 employees. The sources sought notice indicates this is for option evaluation purposes to determine whether to exercise an option on an existing charter contract, though no specific incumbent contractor is identified. The charter structure includes a base period from October 7, 2025 to October 6, 2026, with two additional one-year option periods that could extend the contract through October 2028. Operations will take place in the Pacific Ocean with delivery and redelivery ports in the Western Pacific/Sea of Japan range, with intended operations specifically at Onsan, Korea. No specific budget ranges or award values are disclosed in the sources sought notice, as this appears to be a market research effort to inform the government's decision on exercising existing contract options.
