Scheduled Fuel Barge in Atlantic Region

Solicitation HTC711-17-R-W001, issued by the Department of Defense USTRAN SCOM-AQ, seeks a contractor to provide scheduled fuel barge services within the Atlantic Region. The scope of work encompasses various ports, including those in the U.S. Gulf and Guantanamo Bay, while adhering to specific operational constraints such as barge width restrictions at Langley AFB and port restrictions at DFSP North Landing. The government has established firm barge capacity requirements with a limit of 50k to 60k barrels and has explicitly prohibited shore loading. The contract structure consists of a base year running from October 2017 through September 2018, followed by four option years and a final six-month extension ending in March 2023. The pricing model utilizes a CLIN structure that accounts for different barge tow capacities of 10k, 20k-30k, and 50k barrels, as well as reimbursable out-of-pocket expenses. This requirement follows a previous contract, HTC711-13-C-W015, and was managed by contract specialists Timothy A. Gould and Megan M. Isaak.
