The Military Sealift Command (MSC), a component of the Department of the Navy, is seeking U.S. flag vessels capable of transporting granite aggregates through a voyage charter arrangement. The procurement requires vessels equipped with ship cranes and specific cargo-handling capabilities to transport approximately 92,000 metric tons of granite from Canadian ports (Aulds Cove and Bayside) to Florida destinations (Port Everglades and Port of Palm Beach). Vessels must be geared with cranes capable of offloading at least 8,500 metric tons per day, with crane reach of 10.8 meters and crane size exceeding 30 metric tons.

Interested parties must submit detailed responses including company information, vessel specifications, proposed rates, and confirmation of meeting all specified requirements via email to Jordan Morrison by 1100 hours Eastern Time on November 4, 2025.
This procurement carries no set-aside designation and involves two separate cargo shipments of 46,000 metric tons each, representing a total cargo volume of 92,000 metric tons. No incumbent contractor or current award value has been identified in the available documentation. The small business size standard for this water transportation service under NAICS code 483111 (Deep Sea Freight Transportation) is set at 1,050 employees, and respondents are required to indicate their business size status.
