About this opportunity
The Department of the Navy Military Sealift Command is seeking a spot charter of a clean, double-hull tanker vessel to transport approximately 240,000 barrels of JA1 fuel in a single voyage. The vessel must meet specific technical requirements, including an Inert Gas System and Segregated Ballast Tanks, with constraints on maximum length, beam, draft, and displacement. The solicitation emphasizes operational readiness, safety protocols, and regulatory compliance with international maritime standards, and the government intends to evaluate offers and award the contract without discussions, meaning offerors must submit their best terms from both price and technical perspectives in their initial proposal. Evaluation will consider technical capabilities, vessel performance history, and shipyard maintenance records, along with pricing based on lump sum freight rate and demurrage rate. The proposal due date is Monday, January 12, 2026, at 1300 Eastern Time, as the original RFP N3220526R6035 has been reopened, requiring all previous offerors to either reaffirm or resubmit their offers.
This solicitation includes no set-aside designations and is being conducted under FAR 13.5 Simplified Procedures for commercial products and services with a firm-fixed-price contract anticipated. The vessel will load at the S-OIL Terminal in Onsan, Korea, and discharge at QATEX Limited Terminal in Mesaieed, Qatar, and BAPCO Terminal in Sitra, Bahrain, with laydays set for February 20-21, 2026, and a total laytime of 360 hours. The place of performance is Bahrain. No specific budget range or award value has been disclosed in the available documentation, and no incumbent contractor or potential award value is identified in the solicitation materials.
