About this opportunity
The Military Sealift Command is seeking a tanker voyage charter to transport 270,000 barrels of F76 and JP5 fuel in support of Defense Logistics Agency-Energy requirements. The solicitation targets clean, double-hull tankers with specific vessel specifications, including a maximum age of 20 years, length of 243 meters, beam of 50 meters, and deadweight tonnage of 120,000 MT. Interested maritime companies must submit comprehensive responses by 0900 hours Eastern Time on May 8, 2025, including company information, vessel details, charter hire rates, stowage plans, and additional ship features. The market research notice is structured under NAICS code 483111 with a small business size standard of 1,050 employees, and responses should be emailed to Jordan Morrison. Evaluation will likely focus on vessel capabilities, technical compliance, and charter rate competitiveness, with the primary mission involving loading at the Mena Petroleum Terminal in Salalah, Oman, and discharging at multiple terminals in Diego Garcia and the UAE during laydays from 27-28 June 2025.
The pre-solicitation notice does not indicate a specific set-aside designation, suggesting the opportunity is open to all qualified providers. No incumbent contractors are mentioned in the documentation. While precise award values are not specified, the charter will involve transporting a substantial fuel payload across strategic maritime routes. The vessel charter is anticipated to occur during a specific window in late June 2025, with precise laydays scheduled for the 27th and 28th. The solicitation emphasizes that this is a market research exercise and does not constitute a formal commitment to contract, serving primarily to assess vessel availability and pricing for a critical sealift charter requirement. Potential bidders should note the comprehensive vessel requirements and be prepared to provide detailed technical and commercial information to demonstrate their capability to meet the Military Sealift Command's specific transportation needs.
