About the company
Cargo Transport Systems Company Transport Division, a Kuwait-based for-profit international logistics provider, serves as a prime contractor exclusively delivering stevedoring and related terminal services to the Department of Defense's U.S. Central Command area of responsibility, with 100% of recent federal awards concentrated at Shuwaikh Port in Kuwait. The vendor competes on a full and open, non-set-aside basis across all awards.
The vendor's customer footprint is monolithic. The Department of the Army Materiel Command's Surface Deployment and Distribution Command accounts for 66 of 76 total awards (87% of the combined potential value of $124.2 million), while the Department of the Army New Hampshire Army National Guard holds 9 awards valued at $10.5 million. A single Department of the Air Force contract for deployment and distribution support at Camp Arifjan totals $660 thousand. SDDC's dominance reflects the vendor's role as the primary stevedoring operator at Kuwait's primary military seaport. Capability work centers on vessel loading and unloading, cargo handling, equipment operation, warehousing, documentation management, terminal management, and safety and emergency response services. The vendor manages up to 50,000 tons of monthly cargo capacity across multiple supply classes and personnel movement requirements under NAICS 488320 (Marine Cargo Handling) and PSC codes J004 and J005. Monthly delivery orders have historically ranged from approximately $33 thousand to $3 million in individual potential value.
Cargo Transport Systems Company Transport Division operates under two primary indefinite delivery vehicles awarded by SDDC. The active single-award IDC HTC71119DR014, awarded October 1, 2025, carries a ceiling of $15.6 million with performance through March 31, 2031, and has generated 55 task orders (combined potential value $42.4 million). A predecessor IDC HTC71117DR021 supported 16 task orders valued at $27.6 million. Monthly delivery orders under these IDCs have been issued continuously since at least July 2021, reflecting sustained operational reliance. The vendor's contract relationship with SDDC predates the formal IDC structure; prior to October 2025, delivery orders were issued monthly against an earlier indefinite delivery vehicle. The original market research for the October 2025 IDC, posted in October 2023, indicated SDDC had anticipated a base-period value of $150 million with options to $500 million over an initial five-year performance window, though the actual award ceiling came in at $15.6 million. Activity volume has remained flat to declining—ten awards in 2025, eleven in 2024, ten in 2023—with minimal near-term recompete exposure: only one award (the Air Force contract worth $660 thousand) reaches ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. The vendor holds no subcontract exposure and operates as a 100% prime-only contractor. Headquarters location at Shuwaikh Port, Kuwait, since at least January 2011 SAM registration, positions the vendor as a geographically embedded incumbent with established port-operations capability specifically supporting Central Command logistics pipeline requirements.
