The Department of the Navy Military Sealift Command (MSC) is conducting market research to identify qualified U.S. flag vessel operators for a voyage charter to transport granite aggregates. The primary requirement involves chartering a geared vessel capable of transporting 46,000 metric tons of #57 granite from Aulds Cove, Canada to two Florida ports (Port Everglades and Port of Palm Beach) with discharge occurring in sequence. Interested parties must submit detailed company information, vessel specifications including flag designation, lump-sum rates, demurrage terms, and confirmation of capability to meet all stated requirements, with particular emphasis on vessel gearing specifications and offload rates. The vessel must be equipped with ship cranes capable of sustaining an 8,500 metric ton per day offload rate with a minimum 10.8-meter reach over dock, clam shell bucket grab gear, and individual crane safe working loads exceeding 30 metric tons. All responses must be submitted via email to Jordan Morrison (Jordan.A.Morrison5.civ@us.navy.mil, 564-230-3633) no later than 1300 Eastern Time on Thursday, February 26, 2026.
This is a market research notice with no set-aside designation, and no incumbent contractor or award value has been identified. The loading operation is scheduled for March 23-31, 2026, with the load port (Aulds Cove) accommodating a maximum draft of 9.45 meters and length overall of 197 meters, while Port Everglades can accommodate larger vessels up to 12.19-meter draft and 343-meter length overall, and Port of Palm Beach is more restrictive at 9.45-meter draft, 190-meter length overall, and 30.4-meter beam maximum. The procurement falls under NAICS code 483111 (Deep Sea Freight Transportation), with a small business size standard of 1,050 employees for this classification.
