This is a $1,926,629.00 firm-fixed-price purchase order awarded by the U.S. Military Sealift Command, a defense agency, to American Roll-On Roll-Off Carrier, LLC (Arc), a foreign-owned, for-profit logistics company. The contract is for the delivery of military cargo, including helicopters and wheeled vehicles, from Charleston, South Carolina to Ash Shuaiba, Kuwait between July 20, 2020 and September 5, 2020.
The award was made under an unrestricted solicitation, with no small business set-aside. Arc is a critical transportation services provider to the Department of Defense, holding two significant Indefinite Delivery Contracts (IDCs) - the Voluntary Intermodal Sealift Agreement (VISA) Contingency Services contract with the Air Mobility Command, and the $8 billion Universal Services Contract 10 (USC-10) with the Air Mobility Command. This contract award demonstrates Arc's capability to support complex military logistics requirements through its fleet of U.S.-flag roll-on/roll-off vessels.
