About this vehicle
The Department of the Army Materiel Command Surface Deployment and Distribution Command established this master IDIQ on July 9, 2019, to procure international ocean and intermodal cargo transportation and distribution services using ocean common and contract carriers; the ordering period closed on August 31, 2020, and no new orders may be placed against the vehicle.
The vehicle is inactive. With ordering closed nearly six years ago, this Master IDIQ is no longer available for new awards. The portfolio reflects historical activity only: 1,170 task orders totaling $3.9 billion in potential value, of which the entire $3.9 billion has been obligated. Order activity peaked in 2023 at 232 orders, but has declined sharply since—only 86 orders were issued in 2025 and 7 in 2026 year-to-date.
Work contracted under the vehicle centers on consolidation and decentralized ordering of transportation shipments. Recent task orders, awarded as recently as March 2026, specify fixed-price contracts with economic price adjustment, with individual order values ranging from under one thousand dollars to approximately $9.4 million. The most recent award, a delivery order issued in March 2026, carries a ceiling value of $809,107.72.
Five primes dominate the awarded base. Maersk Line, LIMITED leads with 70 orders and $667.5 million in combined potential value; American President Lines, LLC and Liberty Global Logistics LLC follow with 68 and 67 orders respectively. Together, these top five primes hold 64 percent of the vehicle's combined potential value. A long tail of 22 additional carriers holds the remainder, indicating moderate concentration.
Customer demand is heavily skewed toward Army requirements. The Department of the Army Materiel Command Surface Deployment and Distribution Command placed 694 orders worth $2.59 billion, representing roughly 66 percent of the vehicle's activity. The Department of the Air Force Air Mobility Command accounts for 405 orders worth $1.29 billion, and the Department of the Air Force placed an additional 71 orders worth $18.7 million.
All 1,170 task orders were issued without set-aside; the vehicle carries no small-business restrictions.
