About this opportunity
The Department of the Navy's Military Sealift Command is seeking eight U.S. flag time charter tugs to support operations at Naval Station Norfolk and surrounding waters. The tugs must meet stringent technical specifications, including a maximum draft of 18 feet, beam of 50 feet, and length of 110 feet, with a required bollard pull capability of 100,000 lbs. Each vessel must have comprehensive firefighting capabilities, appropriate communication equipment, and surface and subsurface fendering. The procurement requires tugs to have specific availability protocols: five tugs available with 24-hour notice, one tug on standby with 1-hour notice, and two tugs on duty with 15-minute notice. Interested parties must submit responses by December 26, 2024, at 1:00 PM local time in Norfolk, VA, including company information, business size status, vessel characteristics, and estimated daily and overtime rates.
The contract is not set aside for any specific business category, with the small business size standard defined as $47.0 Million under NAICS 488330. The initial contract period will run from January 31, 2025, to January 30, 2026, with options for two additional one-year periods and a 336-day extension potentially extending service through December 30, 2028. The contract will be structured as a Firm Fixed Price with reimbursable fuel costs, indicating potential flexibility in pricing and compensation. While specific award values are not disclosed, the comprehensive requirements suggest a significant procurement investment. The tugs must be capable of 10-knot transit speeds, accommodate 12 passengers, and operate on specified communication frequencies, demonstrating the complex operational expectations for this maritime service contract.
