Other Support Activities for Transportation

The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code 48899 encompasses Other Support Activities for Transportation, which includes a broad range of specialized logistical and transportation-related services. These activities primarily involve supporting the movement, preparation, and handling of goods, equipment, and personal property across various transportation modes. Services under this category typically include packing, crating, containerization, local drayage, inventory management, and specialized transportation support for both commercial and government entities.

The federal contract awards in this category demonstrate a diverse range of logistical support services, predominantly for government agencies like the Department of State, Department of Defense, and various federal research institutions. Contract values range from approximately $10,000 to $750,000, with performance periods typically spanning several months to multiple years. Frequently awarded entities include specialized logistics firms such as Ipte, LLC, Equans Zuid-Nederland B.V., and Demenagements JAF. Many awards focus on personal property shipments, household goods transportation, artifact handling, and international logistics support. The majority of these awards are not set aside, though some are designated for small businesses, women-owned businesses, or specific socio-economic categories.

Recent federal contract opportunities in this NAICS category predominantly seek packing, crating, and transportation services for military bases, research institutions, and diplomatic facilities. These opportunities span locations including Air Force bases in Wyoming, Colorado, and Florida, naval facilities in California, and international locations such as Croatia and the United Arab Emirates. Agencies like the Department of the Air Force, Naval Sea Systems Command, and the Department of State are actively soliciting services for activities including personal property shipments, artifact relocation, equipment transportation, and specialized logistical support. Most opportunities are set aside for small businesses, with contract periods typically ranging from one to five years and estimated values between $100,000 and $1 million.
