Global Husbanding Support Services

The Department of the Navy United States Pacific Fleet Forces established this Master IDIQ on October 2, 2020, to provide global husbanding services supporting deployed ships and maritime activities across US Navy fleet areas of responsibility in ports worldwide. Ordering authority extends through October 1, 2030, leaving approximately four years and two months to place task orders. The vehicle carries no set-aside designation and operates under full and open competition.

Activity remains robust but is trending downward. The portfolio includes 8,753 task orders awarded since the vehicle's inception, with the most recent award dated July 27, 2026. Annual ordering peaked at 1,938 orders in 2022 and has declined steadily to 438 orders in 2026 year-to-date. Combined potential value across all task orders stands at $1.22 billion, with $1.21 billion already obligated—99% of the vehicle's total capacity.

Task orders range from small port calls (such as $2,918 for a single vessel at Golfito, Costa Rica, in July 2026) to major fleet exercises (such as $1.77 million for USS Kearsarge and $1.39 million for USS Gerald R. Ford at Suez Canal transits in April 2026). Work is performed at ports globally, including locations across Africa, Europe, the Middle East, South Asia, Southeast Asia, the Pacific, and the Americas. Most recent orders reflect high-value Suez Canal transits and multi-day port visits supporting combat logistics.

Competition is highly concentrated. S.C.A. - Shipping Consultants Associated LTD. dominates with 3,730 orders and $485.8 million in combined potential value—40% of the vehicle's total portfolio. Global Defense Logistics S.R.L., Inchcape Shipping Services Dubai LLC, Waypoint LLC, and Parsh Marine (S) Pte. LTD. comprise the next tier, collectively holding roughly 33% of awarded orders. Fifty-seven distinct prime contractors share the remaining vehicle activity, indicating a long tail of smaller competitors.

Demand is driven almost entirely by Navy organizations. Department of the Navy Military Sealift Command placed 3,068 orders worth $375.4 million; US Fleet Forces Command (Atlantic) placed 2,943 orders worth $389.3 million; and Pacific Fleet Forces placed 2,184 orders worth $234.8 million. These three Navy customers account for 98% of task-order volume. The US Coast Guard represents the only significant civilian customer with 275 orders worth $7.9 million.
