About this opportunity
The United States Transportation Command has published a Special Notice regarding a redacted Justification and Approval (J&A) for Longshoring and Warehousing Services at the Port of Bremerhaven, Germany. This notice pertains to a sole-source contract procurement under the Marine Cargo Handling NAICS category (488320) and Transportation/Stevedoring PSC category (V114). The Department of Defense agency is seeking to award a firm-fixed price contract to Bremer Lagerhaus Gesellschaft (BLG) AutoTerminal GmbH & Co. K for terminal operations and U.S. Military cargo handling services. The contract will cover a five-year period from January 1, 2026, through December 31, 2030, with an optional six-month extension. The services encompass management of seaport terminal operations including vehicles, trailers, shipping containers, breakbulk, and aircraft cargo.
The purpose of this Special Notice is to inform the contracting community of the government's justification for using other than full and open competition procurement methods. The sole-source award is justified based on extensive market research confirming that BLG is the only authorized terminal operator at the Port of Bremerhaven, as documented by Bremen's government and port officials. A previous competitive solicitation conducted in 2021 resulted in five offers, but only BLG was deemed acceptable for the longshoring services. To maximize competitive opportunities where possible, the government will separately contract Stevedoring and Tally & Checker services through full and open competition processes. The contract authority being utilized is 10 United States Code 3204(a)(1) for "Only One Responsible Source," indicating that interested contractors must demonstrate they are the sole qualified provider for these specific services at this location.
