African Surface Distribution Services

The African Surface Distribution Services (ASDS) Master Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract provides comprehensive transportation and logistics services within the United States Africa Command (AFRICOM) Area of Responsibility (AOR) and Egypt. The contract covers surface transportation, cargo distribution, and related logistical support across fifty-five African nations, enabling military and government cargo movement through various transportation modes. Contractors under this vehicle are responsible for managing and executing surface distribution services, including line haul transportation, material handling equipment operations, customs clearances, and container movements.

Task orders under this IDIQ consistently demonstrate firm fixed-price delivery orders ranging from approximately $5,000 to $657,000, with most task orders focused on specific transportation routes and logistical support missions. Common task order descriptions include "line haul" services between specific locations like Niamey to Maradi, Garoua to Douala, and surface distribution services within Cameroon and other African nations. The contract appears to be primarily funded by the U.S. Army, with task orders supporting military logistics and movement requirements. None of the task orders utilized specific small business set-asides, suggesting broad competition among prime contractors. The geographical performance is exclusively within the African continent, with task order completion dates typically ranging from several weeks to approximately one year.
