90-Day Tanker Time Charter

The Military Sealift Command is soliciting proposals for a 90-day tanker time charter to transport approximately 310,000 barrels of clean petroleum products to locations in Japan. Offerors must have a double-hull tanker between 190-190 meters in length, with a maximum draft of 12.8 meters and minimum speed of 13 knots. The vessel must also have segregated ballast tanks, an inert gas system and meet additional equipment and certification standards. Proposals are due by January 4, 2022 and will be evaluated based on the proposed charter hire rate and fuel costs, with the period of performance to begin on January 13, 2022.

There is no set-aside designated for this requirement. The primary NAICS code is 483211 and PSC code is X998, covering marine cargo and passenger transportation and related services. The solicitation does not name any incumbent contractors. The place of performance will be in Japan over a 90-day period to transport an estimated minimum of 310,000 barrels of petroleum products. An amendment allows offerors to propose one vessel and make substitutions up until final proposals, if approved by the contracting officer.
