The primary purpose of this federal contract is to secure contingency sealift services for the Department of Defense (DOD) under the Voluntary Intermodal Sealift Agreement (VISA). The focus is on ensuring the availability of commercial shipping capacity for emergency deployments worldwide.

VISA aims to establish partnerships with maritime companies to provide the DOD with efficient and flexible shipping solutions. The agreement offers incentives for companies to commit vessel capacity to the program, including priority for peacetime cargo contracts.

Scope of Work:

The key tasks for the awardee include:

  • Committing a specified percentage of their maritime capacity to different stages of contingency operations, as outlined in the VISA Terms and Conditions.

  • Providing detailed information about their vessels, including technical specifications, capabilities, and pricing, as detailed in the Carrier Vessel Information Sheet.

  • Adhering to the agreed-upon capacity commitments, ensuring vessel availability, and maintaining the ability to fulfill DOD requirements within specified timeframes.

  • Delivering, loading, and redelivering vessels as required, with potential charter periods of up to five years.

  • Complying with international regulations, American Petroleum Institute (API) standards, and safety protocols for loading/discharging processes.

Eligibility Criteria:

Eligibility for this opportunity appears to be focused on maritime companies or operators possessing the following:

  • A fleet of vessels capable of prompt deployment for contingency operations.

  • Capacity and infrastructure to meet the required services, including a diverse range of vessel types.

  • Experience and expertise in maritime transportation, preferably with a track record of working with the DOD or on similar contingency operations.

Funding and Contract Details:

The contract is expected to be firm-fixed-price, with an estimated value of between $500,000 and $36 million over the potential ten-year period of performance.

The base period spans five years, from October 2024 to September 2029, with an optional five-year extension. The government has indicated a submission deadline of August 27, 2024.

Submission Process:

For current VISA participants, the process involves confirming their desire to remain in the program and submitting updated vessel commitment information. New participants must enroll online through the Maritime Administration (MARAD) website.

All participants must provide the required vessel information and undergo a review/signature process with MARAD and USTRANSCOM.

Evaluation Criteria:

The government will evaluate submissions based on several factors:

  • Alignment with VISA requirements, including capacity commitment levels and vessel suitability.

  • Past performance and experience, demonstrating a successful track record in maritime operations and contingency support.

  • Cost reasonableness and price competitiveness.

The draft Voluntary Intermodal Sealift Agreement (VISA) Terms and Conditions outline a contingency contract for sealift services worldwide. VISA aims to ensure the availability of commercial shipping capacity for DOD contingency operations. Shippers will commit a percentage of their U.S. flag vessel capacity and related resources to different stages of contingency activation. In return, they receive priority for DOD peacetime cargo contracts and compensation during contingency operations. The focus is on dry cargo charter hire, with rates tied to committed capacity levels. Vessels can be enrolled in Stages I, II, or III, with varying commitment percentages. Contractors must maintain capacity and resources to fulfill their commitments. Charterers can activate different stages based on operational needs, and contractors are compensated accordingly. Key tasks include vessel delivery, loading, and redelivery, with charter periods potentially extending up to five years. The government plans to use this agreement for worldwide port-to-port movements, exercising best efforts to minimize commercial disruption. Critical dates and evaluation criteria are not explicitly mentioned in this draft.

The draft Voluntary Intermodal Sealift Agreement (VISA) Terms and Conditions is a contingency contract that provides the US government with guaranteed access to commercial sealift services for worldwide port-to-port movements, primarily focused on transporting military cargo. The government seeks to procure ocean transportation charters and space on U.S. Flag vessels, along with associated intermodal services. VISA participants commit a specified percentage of their vessel capacity to different stages of contingency operations. The agreement outlines capacity enrollment terms, with Stage III requiring a higher commitment level, especially for vessels receiving subsidies. Participants are prioritized for DOD peacetime cargo bookings, offering incentives for committing to all three stages. Key areas of procurement include charter hire rates, vessel delivery and redelivery procedures, insurance coverage requirements, and compensation for various scenarios, such as off-hire periods, war risks, and dry docking. The government seeks a fully efficient and ready fleet, with detailed reporting requirements and an emphasis on safety and efficiency in loading and discharging cargo. Critical dates include the contract period, typically lasting several years, with options for extension. The government also outlines a process for enrolling vessel capacity into the VISA program. Evaluation criteria are focused on operational requirements and capacity commitment levels.

The procurement objective relates to the visa capacity commitment for maritime transportation. The focus is on obtaining commitments from companies for specific visa allocations. The file contains a spreadsheet with columns for company names, visa stages, and corresponding commitment levels measured in TEUs (Twenty-Foot Equivalent Units), square feet, and metric tons. Companies must agree to the capacity commitment, which involves committing a specified percentage of their vessel capacity to the program. The procurement seeks to secure commitments for a diverse range of vessel types, including those authorized under the Jones Act, with specific speed requirements and agency approvals. The spreadsheet also notes the maximum expiration date and dwt (deadweight tonnage) for each vessel. The scope of work involves providing the agreed-upon capacity within the specified timeframes, ensuring vessels adhere to the required speed and agency authorizations. Companies are expected to commit to Stage III, which represents the greater of either all subsidized vessels or a minimum of 50% of the overall vessel capacity. The file indicates a requirement for vessels at different capacity levels, with a focus on committing a significant portion of non-Jones Act vessels. The evaluation of proposals will likely consider companies' ability to meet these capacity commitments and the viability of their proposed vessel configurations. Key dates and contract details are missing, but the concise nature of the file suggests a concise timeframe and a potential fixed-price contract.
