Domestic Ocean Transportation via U.S.-Flag Vessels

The contract requires the provision of domestic ocean transportation services using U.S.-flagged vessels in full compliance with the Jones Act and the specific contract clause 252.247-7023, ensuring that all operations adhere to federal regulations governing maritime transport within U.S. waters. The work is to be performed under a subcontract arrangement, with the place of performance located in New Cumberland, Pennsylvania, and the NAICS code 483111 identifies the industry as inland water transportation, though the scope is explicitly focused on ocean transit that qualifies under U.S. flag requirements. The solicitation was posted on July 23, 2026, with a response deadline of August 3, 2026, and is managed by the Fluid Handling Division under the Department of Defense. While no set-aside designation or point of contact information is provided, the requirement is strictly for services rendered by vessels that meet U.S. citizenship, construction, and ownership standards, and all proposers must demonstrate complete alignment with the contractual compliance clause. The contract does not specify vessel type or volume, but the nature of the work implies scheduled or on-demand freight movement within U.S. coastal or inland waterways under federal maritime law.
