The United States Transportation Command intends to award a contract modification (P00008) to an incumbent vendor for continued stevedoring and related terminal services at the Port of Bremerhaven, Germany, on a sole-source basis under an unusual and compelling urgency justification.

The modification increases the contract ceiling to extend service through October 31, 2027. USTRANSCOM cites 41 U.S.C. 3304(a)(2), implemented under FAR 6.302-2, on the basis that an operational shift from port diversity to port optimization has significantly increased operational tempo at Bremerhaven, and that the incumbent's specialized expertise, established processes, and proven reliability are essential to sustaining effectiveness. The Government determined that any lapse in contract coverage would significantly impair vessel loading and unloading and delay critical supplies and equipment movement. This represents the second ceiling increase to the contract; the initial increase was implemented on November 25, 2024.

The services support the 598th Transportation Brigade's deployment and redeployment of major ground forces, including Infantry and Armored Brigade Combat Teams. The original contract was awarded using FAR 13 Simplified Acquisition Procedures and FAR Part 12 Commercial Items, with services provided under existing firm fixed prices. No market research was conducted due to the unusual and compelling urgency. USTRANSCOM anticipates conducting a full and open recompete for the follow-on acquisition. Place of performance is Bremerhaven, Germany. NAICS 488320 (Marine Cargo Handling); PSC V114 (Stevedoring).
