Commercial Tugboat Operations and Vessel Support Services

The contract requires the provision of on-demand tugboat services at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam to support the docking, undocking, berthing, and redelivery of vessels operating in the area. Services must be available around the clock with immediate response capabilities for emergency situations including oil spills, vessel collisions, groundings, and search and rescue operations. The work is critical to maintaining operational readiness and environmental safety within the naval base. All services must comply with stringent security and coordination protocols established by the Department of Defense and local port authorities. This is a total small business set-aside under FAR 19.5, with the NAICS code 488330 designating it as a vessel support service. The opportunity is issued by the Naval Supply Systems Command Fleet Logistics Center Pearl Harbor and has a very short response window, with proposals due by 10:00 PM on May 8, 2026. Performance will be exclusively located at JBPHH in zip code 96860, requiring contractors to have established presence, personnel, and equipment capable of rapid deployment in a high-security military environment. The nature of the work demands proven experience in military vessel support, emergency response, and adherence to federal and DoD safety standards without interruption.
