About this opportunity
The Military Sealift Command (MSC) is seeking to charter one U.S. flagged medium range (MR) tanker for strategic sealift operations in the Pacific Ocean. The solicitation requires a double hull tanker capable of carrying 300,000 barrels of clean petroleum products, with specific technical constraints including a vessel length under 190 meters and deadweight tonnage under 50,000 metric tons. Vessels must be less than 20 years old and capable of operating from 11 June 2026 to 10 May 2031, with a base one-year term and four potential one-year option periods. Interested contractors are required to submit detailed company and vessel information by 14 May 2025, including vessel specifications, daily fuel consumption, charter rates, and business size status. The evaluation will likely focus on vessel capabilities, compliance with technical requirements, and potential alternative ship features such as CONSOL stations, anti-terrorism protection, and secure communications.
The solicitation has no specific set-aside designation and applies to the Deep Sea Freight Transportation category with a small business size standard of 1,050 employees. The potential contract appears to be for strategic maritime transportation, with potential delivery and redelivery in Onsan, Korea. While specific award values are not disclosed, the charter period spans five potential years, suggesting a significant multi-year commitment. The Military Sealift Command is explicitly seeking feedback on alternative ship solutions and additional capabilities that could be incorporated into the daily charter rate or bonus structure. Contractors are encouraged to provide comprehensive information about their vessels, including technical specifications and potential innovative features that might enhance the strategic sealift capabilities required by the military.
