The U.S. Department of Defense, through the Military Sealift Command in Norfolk, Virginia, is conducting market research under solicitation number N32205-SS-N321-26-107 to identify available vessels for a 23-day dry cargo time charter to transport containerized ammunition classified as Hazard Classes 1.1–1.4. The operation requires vessels capable of performing two distinct missions, with laydays scheduled for 17 August and 24 August 2026, each involving transport from Nordenham, Germany, to Souda Bay, Greece, and return. Respondents must provide detailed vessel specifications, including type, deadweight tonnage, capacity to handle at least 150 TEUs, daily charter hire rates, fuel consumption rates for IFO and MDO at various speeds, and the ability to accommodate two supercargos onboard. The solicitation is strictly for market research and does not represent a solicitation for offers, commitment to award, or financial obligation. Responses must include the company name, Unique Entity Identifier, and small business status under NAICS code 483111, with large businesses required to detail potential subcontracting opportunities. All submissions are due by 10:00 AM Eastern Time on 12 May 2026 and must be sent via email to the designated point of contact. The government is seeking both U.S.-flag and foreign-flag vessels compliant with international hazardous materials transport regulations, though specific packaging, marking, or inspection standards are not detailed beyond general hazmat compliance. No contract clauses, evaluation factors, pricing line items, or special requirements are included, as this is a pre-solicitation notice designed solely to assess industry capability and pricing trends.
