About this opportunity
The Department of the Navy Military Sealift Command is seeking to procure a tanker voyage charter service for the transportation of clean petroleum products. The vessel must be a clean, approved tanker flying either a U.S. or foreign flag, equipped with a double-hull configuration, an inert gas system or equivalent nitrogen generation capability, and segregated ballast tanks. The tanker must have the capacity to carry a minimum of 15,000 barrels of clean product within its natural segregation in designated cargo tanks with double valve isolation. The procurement is unrestricted, meaning all responsible sources are eligible to submit proposals for consideration. Key deadlines include a closing response date of Thursday, April 2, 2026, with interested parties able to contact either David Hamilton or Michelle James at the Naval Station Norfolk contracting office for additional information. The specific evaluation criteria have not yet been detailed in this presolicitation notice, though those details are expected to be provided in the formal solicitation.
This contract opportunity carries no set-aside designation and is open to all qualified vendors. No incumbent contractor or current contractor information has been identified in this presolicitation notice. The contract award value and specific dollar amount remain to be determined, with the formal award details pending the solicitation process. The vessel is scheduled for loading at Killingholme, U.K. (SKJ Terminal) with discharge at Akrotiri, Cyprus (PSD-RAF Akrotiri Terminal), with laydays commencing May 2, 2026 and canceling May 9, 2026. The period of performance constitutes a single voyage, making this a defined, one-time transportation engagement rather than an ongoing charter service.
