TSP Tankers Holdings LLC

TSP Tankers Holdings LLC, a for-profit limited liability company headquartered in Dania Beach, Florida, provides tanker vessel charter services to the Department of Defense as a prime contractor, operating exclusively in unrestricted, full-and-open competition with no small business set-asides across its entire federal footprint. The company operates a fleet of clean, double-hull tankers equipped with inert gas systems and segregated ballast tanks, with cargo capacities ranging from 210,000 to 310,000 barrels per voyage, specializing in the transportation of JP5, JA1, and F76 military fuels across international maritime routes including the Middle East, Western Pacific, Mediterranean, and Far East theaters.

TSP Tankers' federal work is almost entirely concentrated with a single customer: the Department of the Navy's Military Sealift Command, which accounts for 27 of 28 awards (100% of combined potential value at $146.3 million) through a series of firm fixed-price purchase orders for individual tanker voyage and time charters. Representative named contracts include a $10.145 million 60-day tanker time charter awarded March 19, 2026 for operations in Japan (performance concluding May 28, 2026); a $9.235 million 60-day tanker time charter awarded March 18, 2026 for transportation of JP5 and JA1 aviation fuels in the Western Pacific and Sea of Japan region (completion May 29, 2026); a $9.715 million 60-day tanker time charter awarded June 26, 2025 for Far East operations (completion January 13, 2026); and a $8.607 million 55-day tanker time charter awarded August 30, 2024 for a voyage from the Mediterranean to the Arabian Gulf (completion December 17, 2024). Additional representative work includes voyage charters ranging from $1.1 million to $8.4 million serving Middle East routes (Fujairah, Mesaieed, Sitra, Bahrain) and Far East operations (Malaysia, Korea, Japan, Philippines). Military Sealift Command has issued 24 firm fixed-price purchase orders to TSP Tankers since December 2023, with combined value exceeding $135 million obligated. The sole secondary award is a zero-dollar-ceiling Indefinite Delivery Contract with the U.S. Air Force's Air Mobility Command under the Voluntary Tanker Agreement program, effective through December 31, 2032, which provides contingency sealift services for global ocean transportation of clean bulk fuel products on a pay-as-you-go basis through task order activation.

Activity has grown sharply: one award in 2023, twelve in 2024, eleven in 2025, and four year-to-date in 2026. TSP Tankers operates no subcontractor relationships; all 28 awards are prime contracts held directly by the parent company. The corporate structure includes three named subsidiaries—TSP Tankers I LLC, TSP Tankers II LLC, and TSP Tankers III LLC—each organized as a for-profit limited liability company, though the source does not specify their operational roles or capability differentiation. With 93% of combined potential value already obligated across recent Military Sealift Command purchase orders, TSP Tankers faces minimal recompete cliff exposure in the near term, as individual voyage and time charters execute and conclude within one- to two-month performance windows typical of maritime logistics operations.
