USM Armored Transport

The United States Mint (USM) Armored Transport Master IDIQ is a Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA) focused on providing armored transportation and related services for USM facilities nationwide. This contract vehicle, which replaced the prior TM-98-2009 agreement, enables the agency to efficiently procure specialized transportation services tailored to the secure movement of high-value assets. The master contract allows the USM to issue task orders to multiple prime contractors for armored transport requirements, offering flexibility in meeting dynamic logistical needs while maintaining stringent security protocols.

Task orders under this IDIQ are likely to involve the secure transportation of currency, precious metals, and other sensitive government assets between USM facilities, federal reserve banks, and other designated secure locations. While specific task order details are not provided, typical contracts in this domain would range from $50,000 to $500,000, with durations spanning 6-18 months. Prime contractors for such specialized services typically include established security and logistics firms with demonstrated capabilities in high-security transportation, extensive background-cleared personnel, and specialized armored vehicle fleets. Given the nature of USM operations, task orders would predominantly be funded through the Department of the Treasury, potentially with small business set-aside designations to support diverse contractor participation. Performance locations would likely concentrate around major USM facilities and federal reserve regions, including cities like Philadelphia, Denver, San Francisco, and Washington D.C.
