33-DAY DRY CARGO TIME CHARTER

The U.S. Navy, through the Military Sealift Command in Norfolk, Virginia, is conducting market research under solicitation number N32205-SS-N321-26-128 to identify available U.S. and foreign-flag roll-on/roll-off vessels capable of performing a 33-day dry cargo time charter. This effort seeks information on vessel availability, daily charter hire rates, and potential delivery or redelivery bonuses for transporting military cargo including three UH-60 helicopters, four CH-47 helicopters, five HEMTT trucks, and fourteen AH-64 helicopters, with specific dimensional and weight requirements for each. Vessels must have a deck height exceeding 7 feet 5 inches to accommodate military cargo, and details regarding ramp door and main deck height are requested. The charter is planned to commence between August 3 and August 23, 2026, with delivery at Souda Bay, Greece, and redelivery at Beaumont, Texas. Respondents are asked to indicate if they are a small business concern under NAICS code 483111, with a size limit of 1,050 employees, and large businesses are encouraged to identify potential subcontracting opportunities. This is strictly a request for information, not a solicitation for offers, and responses will not bind the government to any contractual obligations. Submissions must be sent via email to Brandon Page by 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time on June 17, 2026, and no formal contract clauses, evaluation factors, pricing schedules, or administrative details are included as this phase is solely for market research purposes.
