The Cross Dock and Freight Transportation Services Master Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract, awarded by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), provides comprehensive transportation and logistics support for emergency response and disaster relief operations. The contract encompasses a wide range of services including cross-dock operations, shuttle fleet services, freight transportation, driver management, and operational support for federal emergency management initiatives. With a shared ceiling value of $100 million, the contract enables rapid deployment of transportation resources during critical national emergency situations.

Task orders under this IDIQ primarily focus on hurricane and tropical storm response, with most deliveries supporting FEMA Region 4 operations across southeastern states like South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia, and Georgia. Key contractors include Estes Express Lines and Universal Logistics Holdings Inc., who have been awarded task orders ranging from $187 to nearly $25 million. The task orders consistently use firm fixed-price mechanisms and carry no specific set-aside designations, indicating open competition. Typical task order durations range from several days to multiple years, with most centered around emergency response periods. The contract has been instrumental in supporting prestaging, distribution, shuttle services, and critical logistics infrastructure during events like Hurricane Matthew, Hurricane Erma, Hurricane Joaquin, and Tropical Storm Ericka.
