About this opportunity
The Department of the Navy's Military Sealift Command is seeking seven time-chartered tugs to support harbor operations in Kings Bay, GA and Mayport, FL. The solicitation (N3220525R0004) requires U.S. flagged, Jones Act compliant tugs with specific technical capabilities, including 100,000 lbs forward and stern pull, 80,000 lbs side pull, and a minimum 12-knot transit speed. The contract includes one firm base period of 365 days starting July 1, 2025, with four additional option periods extending through May 31, 2030. Interested contractors must submit proposals by January 16, 2025 at 1:00 PM local time, with comprehensive documentation including crew complement details, vessel characteristics, and contingency plans. While specific evaluation criteria are not explicitly detailed, the RFP suggests technical compliance, operational capabilities, and cost will be key assessment factors.
The solicitation is not set aside exclusively for small businesses but does have a small business size standard of $47 million under NAICS code 488330 (Navigational Services to Shipping). Four tugs must have a maximum draft of 18 feet, while three can have up to 25 feet draft, providing flexibility for different operational requirements. The daily hire rates will include base compensation plus separate after-hours rates, with the government providing and reimbursing fuel costs. Contractors must adhere to Department of Labor wage determinations, which establish minimum daily rates for vessel personnel ranging from $358.94 for deckhands to $570.35 for captains. The performance locations are specifically Kings Bay Naval Submarine Base in Georgia and Mayport Naval Station in Florida, with the tugs expected to provide comprehensive maritime support services including towing, mooring, berthing, docking, and emergency response capabilities.
