The Department of Defense (DoD) agency United States Transportation Command (USTRANSCOM) awarded Matson Navigation Company, Inc. a $4 billion multiple-award Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) known as the Universal Services Contract 10 (USC-10). This contract, with a base period of one year and four one-year option periods through August 2025, provides commercial ocean liner and intermodal distribution services to support the global deployment, sustainment, and redeployment of U.S. forces and cargo for the Defense Transportation System. Under this IDC, Matson will transport military equipment, supplies, and commodities for various defense agencies, including the Defense Logistics Agency, General Services Administration, and Military Postal Service. The contract utilizes fixed-price with economic price adjustment pricing. The contract was awarded on a full and open competition basis, leveraging Matson's extensive experience supporting the DoD through vessel operations, cargo transport, and maritime logistics. Delivery orders under the USC-10 IDC include consolidated transportation shipments and minimum guarantee services, with performance locations in Oakland, CA and Scott AFB, IL. The original solicitation for the USC-10 requirement was issued by USTRANSCOM as a pre-solicitation notice in December 2023. The agency plans to limit competition to vessel owning or controlling companies, citing operational requirements under FAR 6.302-3. The resulting multiple-award contracts will have a five-year period of performance, with fixed pricing negotiated annually and economic adjustments. Incumbent contractors under the previous USC-9 contract will be among the qualified offerors eligible for award under the new USC-10 program.
