About this opportunity
The Military Sealift Command is seeking a U.S. flag, ocean-going certified tug to charter for a single voyage to transport a berthing barge (YRBM-58) from Naval Base San Diego to Naval Base Guam. The Request for Proposal (RFP N3220525R4075) requires a vessel built in 1970 or later with sufficient horsepower to maintain a minimum tow speed of 6 knots, compliant with the U.S. Navy Tow Manual. Key contract requirements include obtaining an Independent Marine Surveyor, providing a comprehensive tow package for government review, and conducting pre-tow conferences. Proposals are due by April 30, 2025, at 1100 Eastern Time, with the towing mission scheduled for June 16-22, 2025. The evaluation will likely focus on the contractor's ability to meet technical specifications, safety requirements, and operational capabilities.
The solicitation is a 100% small business set-aside under NAICS code 483111 (Deep Sea Freight Transportation). The contract will be firm-fixed-price and follow simplified procedures for commercial items. The barge to be towed weighs 1,195.02 long tons and requires careful preparation, including disconnecting shore station connections and securing onboard systems. The place of performance is from Naval Base San Diego to Naval Base Guam, with 4 days of laytime allocated for the voyage. While specific award value is not explicitly stated, the contract involves a one-time charter for marine transportation services. Potential contractors must provide detailed technical documentation and comply with specific maritime regulations, including U.S. Department of Labor Service Contract Act wage determinations for maritime workers.
