The Department of the Navy's Military Sealift Command is seeking seven U.S. flagged, Jones Act compliant tractor-like tugs to support maritime operations in Kings Bay, Georgia and Mayport, Florida and their surrounding navigable waters. The solicitation (N32205-25-R-0004) will be a fixed-price time charter contract with reimbursable pass-through elements, structured to be awarded under full and open competition using FAR Part 12 and Part 15 procedures. The contract will require precise maritime support capabilities, with vendors expected to demonstrate comprehensive tug operational expertise and compliance with maritime regulations. While specific evaluation criteria are not detailed in the synopsis, the procurement suggests a focus on vessel capability, operational readiness, and technical compliance. The solicitation is expected to be posted on SAM.gov on December 13, 2024, with potential contractors having a brief window to prepare and submit their proposals.
The contract will have a total duration of 4 years and 11 months, consisting of a one-year firm period followed by three one-year options and a final 335-day option period. No small business set-aside has been designated, based on market research approved by the Small Business office on August 12, 2024. Vendors must have vessels ready for delivery by July 1, 2025, with an anticipated contract award date of June 10, 2025. The procurement falls under NAICS Category 488330 for Navigational Services to Shipping and PSC Category V124 for Marine Transportation Charter services. While specific award value is not disclosed, the complex maritime charter requirements and multi-year duration suggest a significant contract opportunity for qualified marine transportation providers with appropriate vessel assets and operational capabilities.
