About this opportunity
The Military Sealift Command is seeking clean, double-hull tankers for transporting JP5 petroleum in support of the Defense Logistics Agency - Energy. This pre-solicitation notice targets vessels capable of carrying a minimum of 210,000 BBLS of JP5 within designated cargo tanks that have double-valve isolation. Qualified vessels must be less than 20 years old, with maximum specifications of 200.24 meters LOA, 40,000 MT DWT, and 11.20 meters draft when loaded. Interested parties are required to submit comprehensive company information, vessel details including Q88 documentation, charter hire rates, and demurrage information to Jordan Morrison by January 6, 2025, at 1000 hours Eastern Time. The solicitation uses NAICS category 483111 with a small business size standard of 1,050 employees, indicating potential opportunities for qualifying maritime transportation firms.
The procurement involves a specific maritime charter with defined loading and discharge parameters, including initial loading at Jebel Ali, UAE, and discharge ports at Diego Garcia, Mariana Island, Guam, and Hakosaki, Japan. Laydays are strictly defined, commencing March 10, 2025, and canceling March 11, 2025. There are no specific set-aside designations for this opportunity, suggesting open competition among qualified marine transportation providers. While the pre-solicitation notice does not specify an exact award value, the complexity of the charter and multi-port logistics suggest a significant maritime transportation contract. The technical specifications and narrow timeline indicate a precise operational requirement that will demand exact vessel capabilities and scheduling compliance from potential contractors.
