About this opportunity
The Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command (NAVSUP) Fleet Logistics Center Pearl Harbor is seeking qualified sources to provide tugboat services at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam on Oahu, Hawaii. This is a Sources Sought Notice issued for market research purposes only and does not constitute a formal solicitation or guarantee of contract award. The Navy is soliciting capability statements from contractors capable of providing U.S.-flagged tugboat services with tractor-type propulsion, a minimum of 4,000 shaft horsepower, and 100,000 lbs bollard pull capacity to support harbor operations and ship handling during four distinct performance periods between June and August 2026. Critical requirements include crew composed entirely of U.S. citizens with valid U.S. Coast Guard certifications, 24-hour emergency response capability with a two-hour response time, and comprehensive insurance coverage including Broad Form Towing Liability, Hull and Machinery, Protection and Indemnity, Pollution Liability, and War Risk coverage. Interested contractors must submit capability statements to Beverly Suzuki at beverly.a.suzuki.civ@us.navy.mil by April 29, 2026 at 12:00 PM Hawaii Standard Time, with the deadline having been accelerated from the original May 1, 2026 date. No formal evaluation criteria have been disclosed in this sources sought notice, as responses will be used solely for Navy internal decision-making purposes.
This procurement carries no small business set-aside designation and applies to the NAICS Code 488330 (Navigational Services to Shipping) with a small business size standard of $47 million. The contract will encompass four performance periods: June 21-23, July 7-9, July 28-30, and August 1-2, 2026, with daily service delivery from 0600 to 1800 hours, requiring the tugboat to be delivered by 0600 hours on each commencement date. The Performance Work Statement specifies detailed vessel specifications including a maximum overall length of 110 feet and a maximum draft of 16 feet, with services including towing, mooring, berthing, docking, shifting, and escorting of Navy vessels, as well as emergency support for weather threats, shipboard fires, vessels aground, and search-and-rescue operations. No incumbent contractor or award value has been identified in the notice, and all costs associated with vessel insurance, operations, and staffing are the contractor's responsibility, with the government providing only berthing and shore power at S-19. Capability statements should be company-specific and not include teaming partners or subcontractors, as only individual contractor capabilities are being solicited at this preliminary stage.
