Key vessel specifications include a maximum displacement of 41,000 metric tons, maximum length of 256 meters, laden draft of 10 meters, and gross volumetric capacity between 4,000 to 15,000 cubic meters, with specialized technical capabilities for LNG transfer and unloading operations. The primary objective of this procurement is to complete the cooldown process for a newly constructed LNG terminal and storage tanks at Guantanamo Bay. Interested parties must submit detailed company information, vessel specifications, rate proposals, and certifications of compliance with all requirements by 1100 hours Eastern Time on January 12, 2026.
This procurement carries no small business or minority set-aside designation, opening competition to both large and small businesses operating in the Deep Sea Freight Transportation sector (NAICS 483111).

Potential laycan dates for vessel loading are scheduled for February 23-27, 2026, March 16-20, 2026, or April 4-9, 2026, providing multiple options for vessel availability and scheduling. Large business respondents are encouraged to identify potential subcontracting opportunities for small businesses as part of their proposals. The small business size standard for this NAICS category is established at 1,050 employees, establishing the threshold for small versus large business classification in this sector.
