About this opportunity
The Department of the Navy Military Sealift Command is seeking time-chartered tug services to support operations in Portsmouth, New Hampshire and Kittery, Maine. The procurement requires two U.S. flagged, Jones Act compliant tugs to be available for charter during a firm contract period running from February 1, 2026 through January 31, 2027, with two additional option periods totaling up to 700 days. Prospective vendors must submit detailed responses by December 9, 2025 at 1:00 PM Eastern Standard Time via email to designated Navy contacts, with submissions to include company details, business size status, company history, financial capability documentation, estimated daily rates, and comprehensive vessel characteristics. Required vessel specifications include 65,000 pounds of forward bollard pull, 10-knot transit speed capability, maximum length of 105 feet, 19-foot maximum draft, and passenger capacity of 12 beyond crew members, all in compliance with U.S. Coast Guard regulations. The contract will be evaluated based on the vendor's ability to meet these technical and operational requirements and demonstrate financial capacity to support the services.
This procurement includes no set-aside designation and will be awarded as a firm fixed price contract with reimbursable elements for fuel costs supplied by the government. The daily rates submitted must be inclusive of weekends, holidays, and after-hours service availability, with fuel costs to be separately reimbursed by the government rather than included in the daily rate. The small business size standard for NAICS code 488330 (Navigational Services to Shipping) is $47 million in annual revenue. No specific award value or budget range has been disclosed in the pre-solicitation notice, and no incumbent contractor information has been identified. Interested firms should prepare comprehensive proposals demonstrating their ability to provide qualified, compliant vessels meeting all specified operational and regulatory requirements within the stated timeframe.
