Cargo Transport Systems Company

Cargo Transport Systems Company, a for-profit international logistics and transportation services provider headquartered at Shuwaikh Port in Kuwait, specializes in maritime cargo handling and port terminal operations. The company has maintained active federal contracting relationships since its registration in the System for Award Management on January 19, 2011, demonstrating sustained expertise in supporting U.S. military logistics requirements across the Middle East region.

Cargo Transport Systems Company has established a comprehensive track record delivering stevedoring and related terminal services (S&RTS) through multiple federal contract awards, with the overwhelming majority of its contract portfolio dedicated to port operations in Kuwait supporting the U.S. Central Command area of responsibility. The company has received continuous monthly delivery orders from the Department of the Army Materiel Command's Surface Deployment and Distribution Command (SDDC) from at least July 2021 through October 2025, with individual delivery order values ranging from approximately $33,579 to $3.06 million. These contracts are firm fixed-price arrangements covering loading and unloading of cargo from vessels, cargo handling, warehousing, equipment operation, documentation management, and comprehensive terminal management services at Shuwaikh Port. All delivery orders were awarded on a non-competitive, full and open competitive basis with no set-aside designations, reflecting the company's established capability and competitive position. Additionally, the company received a $660,000 firm fixed-price purchase order from the U.S. Air Force beginning May 1, 2021, for deployment and distribution service support to the 595th Transportation Brigade at Camp Arifjan and the Seaport of Debarkation in Kuwait, with performance extending through February 28, 2027. The Air Force contract represents the company's diversified federal customer base beyond SDDC, though the vast majority of awards have originated from the Army.

Cargo Transport Systems Company currently holds a single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract with the Surface Deployment and Distribution Command, awarded on October 1, 2025, with a ceiling value of $15,569,159.38 and performance extending through March 31, 2031. This IDV provides the contracting vehicle for SDDC's ongoing delivery orders for stevedoring and related terminal services in Kuwait, replacing what appears to be a prior $25 million indefinite delivery contract referenced in earlier delivery order summaries. The contract encompasses comprehensive port and terminal operations including vessel loading and unloading, cargo handling, equipment operation, documentation management, safety protocols, and emergency response services. Services under the IDV fall under NAICS code 488320 and PSC codes J004 and J005, with the contractor required to manage cargo import and export operations, maintain dedicated safety and environmental personnel on-site, and handle up to 50,000 tons of cargo monthly across various classes of supplies in support of military logistics and personnel movement requirements.
