About this opportunity
The United States Transportation Command (USTRANSCOM) is seeking a contractor to provide Stevedoring and Related Terminal Services (S&RTS) at multiple ports throughout Australia, including Darwin, Gladstone, Rockhampton, Alma, Point Wilson, and Townsville. The solicitation requires a comprehensive service for importing and exporting US Defense Transportation System military cargo, with potential expansion to secondary ports. Contractors must demonstrate capabilities in labor, equipment, and port access certifications, with a technical proposal limited to 20 pages and evaluated on a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) basis. The solicitation uses a 5-year Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract structure, with proposals originally due on April 28, 2025, and subsequently extended to May 12, 2025. Offerors will be evaluated on their ability to provide 24/7 operations, material handling equipment capacity, HAZMAT certifications, and valid host nation business licenses.
The contract is not set aside for any specific small business designation, contrary to an earlier draft that suggested a Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB) set-aside. The total estimated contract value is approximately $346,500 for the base 5-year period, with a potential 6-month extension and a maximum contract value that can increase by 25%. The contract will cover stevedoring services from August 1, 2025, through July 31, 2030, with a minimum order value of $2,500 for the first 12 months. Pricing varies by port, with annual costs ranging from $7,000 for Townsville to $17,500 for Darwin. The place of performance is exclusively in Australia, focusing on supporting military cargo movements through key ports in the Northern Territory and Queensland, with provisions for handling various cargo types including explosives, containers, vehicles, and breakbulk cargo across different weight classifications.
