Solicitation # N3220526R6131
Solicitation N3220526R6131 is a firm-fixed-price, total small business set-aside request for proposals issued by Military Sealift Command Norfolk. The contract requires a U.S.-flagged, ocean-going tug to tow the USNS CATAWBA from Subic Bay, Philippines, to Honolulu, Hawaii. The period of performance for the tow mission is scheduled between September 26 and November 1, 2026. The selected vessel must be built in or after 1970, possess sufficient bollard pull to maintain a 6-knot speed in Beaufort 5 conditions, and be fully bunkered for the voyage with satellite communication capabilities. The award will be based on the Lowest Price, Technically Acceptable (LPTA) basis, with technical requirements serving as a pass/fail criterion. A critical requirement is the employment of an Independent Marine Surveyor (IMS), whose cost must be included in the lump-sum price, to certify seaworthiness and oversee rigging in accordance with the U.S. Navy Towing Manual. Deliverables include a comprehensive towing package featuring tow line tension calculations, route planning with ports of refuge, and a final transit plan due by September 29, 2026. Administrative compliance requires the use of the Wide Area Work Flow (WAWF) system for electronic invoicing via the Invoice2-in-1 method. The contract incorporates various FAR and DFARS clauses, including Service Contract Labor Standards and specific security prohibitions. Proposals must be submitted by August 28, 2026, and must include the vessel's USCG Certificate of Inspection, Certificate of Documentation, ABS Class certification, and a draft transit plan.
