The United States Transportation Command is seeking a contractor to provide scheduled fuel barge transportation services in the Atlantic Region through a solicitation numbered HTC71125RW001. The contract requires the provision of six tank barges with varying capacities, including two 10,000-20,000 barrel barges, three 20,000-30,000 barrel barges, and one 50,000-60,000 barrel oceangoing barge, along with corresponding tugs to transport Department of Defense-owned bulk fuels such as JP5, marine diesel, and Jet-A between U.S. ports. The solicitation will be evaluated using a Best Value, Performance-Price Tradeoff methodology, with past performance weighted approximately equal to price, and proposals must be submitted by 4:00 PM Central Time on April 4, 2025. Offerors are required to submit six proposal volumes: Business, Technical, Past/Present Performance, Price, Small Business Utilization, and a Small Business Subcontracting Plan for large businesses. Questions from potential offerors were due by March 25, 2025, with a virtual pre-proposal conference held on March 19, 2025.
The contract is an unrestricted solicitation with no specific set-aside designation, using NAICS code 483211 with a size standard of 1,050 employees. The total evaluated price for the contract is $19,250,000.22, covering a base year from September 1, 2025, through August 31, 2026, with four additional one-year option periods and a six-month extension through February 28, 2031. The place of performance includes U.S. ports along the Atlantic and Gulf Coasts, including inland waterways, coastal waterways, rivers, and tributaries, with potential occasional vessel calls to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. Key performance requirements include 24/7 availability, maintaining less than 10 cumulative days out of service per barge annually, and compliance with specific technical capabilities such as cargo pumping systems capable of 2,000 barrels per hour discharge rates. Contractors must also maintain at least 70% use of U.S. shipyards for repair and maintenance work and provide daily position reports and cyber incident reporting.
