The Next Generation Delivery Services 2 (NGDS 2) indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contract, awarded to Federal Express Corporation (FedEx) by the General Services Administration, provides comprehensive delivery and logistics services to the U.S. federal government. FedEx, as the prime contractor, will deliver domestic and international shipping for packages up to 150 lbs. (up to 300 lbs. for shipments to/from Alaska, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico), including air and ground transportation, customs brokerage, freight forwarding, and supply chain management. The contract is open to all federal agencies and has no set-aside designation. Numerous task orders have been awarded to FedEx to provide delivery services to various civilian and defense agencies, such as the Departments of Veterans Affairs, Justice, and Homeland Security, with a total contract ceiling value exceeding $5.3 billion. The contract period of performance runs through September 30, 2026, allowing federal agencies to leverage FedEx's extensive logistics capabilities to support their operational needs across the United States and globally.
The original solicitation sought to establish a mandatory use contract for the whole of the federal government to procure small package delivery services. The contract is designated as "operationally critical support" due to the essential nature of the delivery services. The objective is to provide time-definite, door-to-door pick-up and delivery, in-transit visibility, and customs clearance processing as required. The contract is open to all responsible offerors, with no socioeconomic set-aside designations specified. This allows the government to leverage the capabilities of large, experienced logistics providers like FedEx to fulfill its diverse shipping requirements efficiently and reliably.
