The vessel must depart from St. Theodore, Greece (MOH Terminal) and discharge at multiple designated ports including Diego Garcia, Salalah in Oman, Fujairah in the UAE, and Jebel Ali in the UAE. While the notice does not explicitly state evaluation criteria, the procurement appears focused on vessel capabilities, compliance with environmental and safety standards, and route feasibility. The closing response date for this pre-solicitation is February 26, 2026, with inquiries directed to Contracting Officer Tiffany Gallon or Nic Hatcher at the provided contact information.
This procurement carries no set-aside designations, and the contracting officer has determined that competition should remain unrestricted based on market research. No incumbent contractor or current contract holder is identified in this notice. The contract award amount and dollar value remain to be determined, as the solicitation has not yet been formally released. The voyage is scheduled with laydays commencing April 3, 2026, and canceling April 4, 2026, with the period of performance covering a single voyage only. This marine charter service falls under NAICS code 483111 (Deep Sea Freight Transportation) and represents a focused, time-sensitive procurement for naval fuel transportation operations.
