About this opportunity
The Military Sealift Command (MSC), an agency within the Department of the Navy, is seeking time-chartered tractor tugs to provide comprehensive harbor support services at Naval Base Guam. The procurement requires two U.S. flag tractor-type vessels capable of performing towing, mooring, emergency response, line handling, and personnel transfer operations within Guam's naval base region. Key technical specifications mandate a maximum length of 110 feet, 100,000 lbs forward bollard pull, 16-foot maximum draft, and a minimum transit speed of 11 knots, with 24/7 availability and response times of 15 minutes during straight time and 60 minutes during after-hours operations. Interested vendors must provide company details, business size status, vessel characteristics, estimated daily rates, and confirmation of their ability to meet all specified performance requirements. The deadline for vendor responses is December 9, 2025, at 1:00 PM local time in Norfolk, Virginia.
This procurement is not set-aside for any specific business category and the contract will be structured as firm fixed price with pass-through elements, with fuel to be supplied separately by the government. The contract term spans from March 1, 2027, through January 31, 2032, consisting of a base period of 366 days followed by four optional renewal periods totaling 1,432 days, potentially representing a five-year commitment. While no specific award value or budget range has been disclosed in this pre-solicitation notice, the estimated daily rates provided by vendors will inform the government's assessment of pricing proposals. The competitive procurement will evaluate vendors based on their ability to provide vessels meeting the stringent technical specifications and operational requirements necessary to support critical naval operations at Guam.
