About this opportunity
The Military Sealift Command Norfolk is soliciting proposals for a tanker voyage charter to transport JA1 fuel product between Bahrain and Qatar. The solicitation seeks one clean, double-hull tanker vessel capable of carrying a minimum of 310,000 barrels with specific technical requirements including a maximum length of 200 meters, maximum deadweight of 80,000 MT, and compliance with international maritime standards. The vessel must be less than 20 years old and meet stringent operational requirements including specific freeboard and manifold height restrictions. Proposals will be evaluated on a lowest-price, technically acceptable basis, with potential preference given to U.S. flag vessels and consideration of shipyard maintenance history. The solicitation operates under FAR 13.5 Simplified Procedures for Commercial Products and Services with proposals due by October 1, 2025, and laydays scheduled for October 31 to November 1, 2025.
This opportunity does not utilize any set-aside designations and no incumbent contractors are identified in the solicitation documents. While specific contract values are not disclosed, the RFP anticipates a firm-fixed-price contract for this single voyage charter service. The transportation mission involves loading cargo at the BAPCO Terminal in Sitra, Bahrain and discharging at the QATEX Limited Terminal in Mesaieed, Qatar, with the place of performance listed as Qatar. The solicitation includes provisions for operations in imminent danger pay zones including the Red Sea, Bab al-Mandeb Straits, and Gulf of Aden, reflecting the security considerations for vessels operating in these maritime regions. Offerors must provide comprehensive documentation including Q-88 reports, safety certificates, and cargo tank compatibility information to demonstrate their vessel's suitability for this specialized fuel transport mission.
