Description

This Sources‑Sought Notice seeks a self‑sustaining vessel (U.S. or foreign flagged) capable of loading, transporting, and discharging a U.S. Navy LCU‑1710 (139 ft LOA, 31.7 ft beam, 246 LT). The contractor must provide all associated equipment—including cradle, sea‑fastening, cargo gas certification, and temporary toilet facilities—and cover IMS fees, tow‑in/tow‑out, and related services under a lump‑sum price. The LCU will be loaded in Mobile, Alabama (prompt availability) and discharged at Joint Expeditionary Base Little Creek, Virginia Beach, VA, with a required 10‑day lay‑day window. Small‑business eligibility is based on NAICS 483111 (≤ 1,050 employees).

Budget estimate

$500,000 – $2,000,000

No award amount is disclosed; however, a typical dry‑cargo voyage charter for a vessel capable of handling a 246‑LT LCU, including cradle, gas certification, IMS fees, and demurrage, would likely range from a few hundred thousand dollars to low‑single‑digit millions. Assuming a 10‑day lay‑day window and additional services, a reasonable estimate is $500,000 to $2,000,000. Factors influencing the range include vessel size, charter rates, fuel costs, IMS fees, and any overtime or demurrage charges.
