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

The Military Sealift Command (MSC) is issuing RFP N3220526R6063 for a Dry Cargo Time Charter (DRYTIME) to provide one or more vessels that can operate as a cohesive cohort. Each vessel must be beach‑able with a deployable bow ramp for piers, floating barges, or unimproved shorelines, capable of repeated beaching/unbeaching, and have propulsion configured for such operations. The vessels must lift 350‑450 short tons in a single lift (including heavy tracked vehicles, ISO containers, break‑bulk, and bulk liquids), feature a modular cargo deck adaptable to mission‑specific loads, possess an unrefueled range of at least 5,000 nautical miles, and sustain operations for a minimum of 20 days without resupply. Price proposals will be evaluated on the charter hire rate(s) for the total charter period, fuel price, and all other pricing elements specified. Fuel consumption will be calculated using DLA‑E standard prices and the consumption figures in DRYTIME Boxes 68‑71 for laden, ballast, and idle periods. Offerors must submit the required FAR/DFARS clauses (including 52.212‑1, 52.212‑4, and numerous socioeconomic and labor clauses), the fuel‑consumption template, and shipyard data template. A classified requirement is attached; offerors with appropriate clearances 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, to the MSC point of contact listed in SF 1449.
