Multimodal-3

The Department of the Army Materiel Command Surface Deployment and Distribution Command awarded Multimodal-3, a Master IDIQ for global international, commercial, door-to-door cargo transportation through single or multiple modes such as airlift, sealift, and linehaul, with orders placeable through June 30, 2027. All 404 task orders are unrestricted ("No Set-Aside Used"), and eleven prime contractors hold awards. The shared ceiling is $847.4 million. Ordering is active: 112 orders were placed in 2026 through the July 27, 2026 award, against 15 in 2025. Orders per year ran 35 in 2022, 44 in 2023, and 35 in 2024. Task orders carry $346.9 million in combined potential value, of which $344.5 million (99%) is obligated.

Recent orders are theater cargo moves tagged to Operation Epic Fury, including pallets, containers, vehicles, MREs, and health and comfort packs. Lanes run predominantly among Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Jordan, with CONUS-origin moves from Ohio, Indiana, California, North Carolina, and South Carolina, and some lanes to Singapore, the Philippines, and Diego Garcia. Several recent orders were cancelled through deobligation modifications, which reduced their obligations to $0.00.

American President Lines, LLC leads on order count with 127 orders and $66 million in combined potential value, followed by Farrell Lines Incorporated (76 orders, $90.1 million), National Air Cargo Group, Inc. (47 orders, $53.1 million), Liberty Global Logistics LLC (43 orders, $26 million), and Air Transport International Inc. (41 orders, $72.3 million). The top five primes hold 83% of task orders and 89% of combined potential value. Six other primes share the remainder.

Army SDDC places 208 orders ($213.2 million), about half of all orders. Air Force and Air Force Air Mobility Command together place 195 orders ($83.2 million and $28.4 million, respectively). The Department of the Army placed one order worth $22 million. Four customer agencies are served in total.

Most recent orders are valued between roughly $6,000 and $300,000, with several multimillion-dollar exceptions: a $8.76 million pork-free MRE order from Indiana to Bahrain, a $7.13 million order from South Carolina to Qatar, and a $6.47 million order from California to Singapore. Most recent orders have ultimate completion dates within about five weeks of award.
