Disaster Overseas Transportation Support (DOTS) - AS/GU/CNMI

The Department of Homeland Security's Federal Emergency Management Agency intends to award multiple-award Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity contracts for all-inclusive, multimodal transportation and shipping services from Continental United States and/or Outside Continental United States origins to American Samoa, Guam, and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, with Phase II responses due November 6, 2026 at 12:00 PM ET. The Set Aside line reads "No Set-Aside Used." A GovTribe attachment summary references WOSB and other set-aside classifications, but the Set Aside line controls. Phase I responses closed October 2, 2026.

Place of performance is listed as Pago Pago, American Samoa, while the work covers shipments from CONUS and OCONUS origins to American Samoa, Guam, and the CNMI. FEMA's Incident Support Section in Washington, DC administers the contract. Contracting Officer Karley Hoyt and Contract Specialist Jason Rivers are the designated contacts.

The base period runs February 2, 2027 through February 1, 2028, with four one-year options extending through February 1, 2032. The contract is firm fixed price and unit-priced across 34 base line items and corresponding option line items, with FOB Destination terms. Individual quantities range from single dedicated vessel voyages to 1,200 units of breakbulk transport.

The performance work statement requires Initial Operational Capability within 24 hours and full functionality within 48 hours of task order award, with continuous 24/7 operations. The QASP sets IOC at 48 hours of task order receipt, which does not match the PWS. Other requirements include Jones Act compliance, cargo and port liability insurance equal to transported cargo value, and full background investigations for personnel requiring facility or system access. Key personnel are a Contracts Administration Program Manager and a Contractor Operations Project Manager, each with seven years of logistics and transportation experience and 24/7 availability. The contractor must maintain approximately 500,000 square feet of combined warehousing and catch yards for 300 trailers within 20 miles of ports of debarkation. Damage and Loss Reports and Departure and Arrival Visibility Reports are due within 24 hours.

Amendment A0003, issued October 29, 2026, limits Factor 5 Past Performance to six pages, requires oral presentation PowerPoint slides one business day before each presentation, and sets the small business size standard for NAICS 483111 at 1,050 employees. Amendment A0002 (October 8, 2026) extended Phase II to November 6, and A0003 supersedes it while retaining that date. The notice lists NAICS 48311 and PSC V115.
