About this opportunity
The Military Sealift Command (MSC) within the Department of the Navy is conducting a Sources Sought inquiry for a time charter of shallow draft tankers to support Defense Logistics Agency-Energy operations in the IndoPACOM area of responsibility. The procurement seeks one U.S. flagged, double-hull tanker capable of carrying 40,000 BBL of JP8, JP5, JA1, or F76 fuel with specific technical requirements including being less than 20 years old, under 108 meters in length, under 8,000 metric tons DWT, with a minimum speed of 12 knots, bow/jet thruster, at least 3 cargo tank segregations, and a 3-ton boom/crane. This Sources Sought notice (SS-25-088) represents information gathering for Option 1 Exercise of contract N3220524C4137. Interested parties must submit detailed company and vessel information by 1400 Eastern Time on July 22, 2025, via email to Ashley Smith and F. Carley Orvin. The government emphasizes this is a request for information only and does not commit to any contract or cost reimbursement.
This opportunity is designated as a Partial Small Business set-aside under NAICS code 483111 for Deep Sea Freight Transportation. The charter period includes three one-year option periods and an additional 11-month period, with a delivery date of September 27, 2025. The solicitation specifically requires one vessel meeting the 40,000 BBL fuel capacity requirement to support military operations in the Far East region. No budget ranges or award values are specified in this pre-solicitation phase, as this is purely an information-gathering exercise. The tight timeline with responses due just eight days after posting indicates the government's urgency in identifying potential sources for this shallow draft tanker capability.
