180-day Dry Cargo Time Charter w/ 180-day Option

The Military Sealift Command (MSC) is issuing RFP N3220526R6063 for a Dry Cargo Time (DRYTIME) charter to provide one or more vessels that can operate as a beachable, bow‑ramp‑equipped fleet. Each vessel must be capable of repeated beaching/unbeaching, carry a single lift of 350‑450 short tons (including heavy tracked vehicles, ISO containers, break‑bulk, and bulk liquids) on a modular cargo deck, and possess an unrefueled range of at least 5,000 nautical miles with a minimum of 20 days self‑sustained endurance. The offer will be evaluated on the charter hire rate for the total charter period, fuel price, and all other pricing elements, using DLA‑E standard fuel prices and the fuel‑consumption data in DRYTIME Boxes 68‑71 for specified days underway laden, ballast, and idle in port. A classified requirement is attached; offerors (or a cleared representative) must request access within one business day of solicitation issuance and arrange a review at their expense before the offer deadline. Offers are due 16 April 2026, 1100 ET, and must be submitted on SF 1449 to the MSC point of contact. Payment will be made via ERP DFAS‑CL with electronic invoicing through the Wide Area Work Flow (WAWF) system. The solicitation incorporates numerous FAR and DFARS clauses by reference, including commercial product and service provisions, ethics, small‑business, and labor standards. Compliance with the beaching capability, cargo capacity, range/endurance, and fuel‑consumption reporting requirements is critical for award consideration.
