About this opportunity
The Military Sealift Command is seeking Roll-on/Roll-off (RO/RO) vessel charter services to transport military rolling stock and general cargo in the Far East region. The procurement involves chartering one or multiple vessels capable of transporting up to 15,000 square feet of military equipment, with a minimum capacity of 2,500 square feet per vessel if multiple ships are proposed. Qualified vessels must have a deployable ramp for pier or floating barge loading, support tactical communications equipment installation, and provide pilot house workspace. Interested vendors must submit detailed vessel specifications, including berthing capabilities, daily charter rates, fuel consumption rates, and company information by February 7, 2025, at 1:00 PM Eastern Time. The contract evaluation will likely focus on vessel capabilities, compliance with technical requirements, and the ability to meet the specific transportation needs of military cargo.
The contract is not set aside for any specific business category, though the NAICS code 483111 has a small business size standard of 1,050 employees. The charter period includes one base year with three additional 1-year option periods and one 11-month option period, with initial laydays commencing on August 1, 2025. Delivery will be at the port of Naha, Japan, with potential redelivery ports in Japan, the Philippine Islands, Australia, and other Far East locations. The cargo manifest includes 41 different military vehicles and equipment types, ranging from tactical vehicles like MTVR Cargo vehicles and JLTV variants to specialized equipment such as HIMARS and Light Armored Vehicles. While specific award values are not disclosed, the comprehensive requirements and specialized nature of the charter suggest a significant contract value for the selected maritime transportation provider.
