Dry Cargo Vessel Time Charter for Hazardous Ammunition Transport

A self-sustaining vessel is required to transport at least 191 TEUs of Hazard Class 1.1–1.4S ammunition under a 37-day time charter, adhering strictly to Department of Defense and international hazardous materials regulations. The vessel must operate independently without external support for the duration of the charter, ensuring safety, security, and regulatory compliance throughout transit. Operations must be conducted in accordance with all applicable hazmat handling, storage, and transportation standards, including proper segregation, labeling, and emergency response protocols. The contract is classified as a subcontract under NAICS code 483111, issued by the Department of Defense through Mschq Norfolk, with responses due by July 30, 2026. Performance is expected to occur globally, with no specific port or location defined, allowing flexibility for routing based on mission requirements and regulatory constraints.
