CMA CGM

CMA CGM, doing business as CMA CGM, is a global shipping and logistics company that provides a wide range of transportation and supply chain services to the U.S. federal government. As one of the world's leading container shipping groups, CMA CGM operates a fleet of over 500 vessels serving more than 420 ports across five continents. Through its subsidiaries, including American President Lines (APL) and CEVA Logistics, CMA CGM offers ocean and air freight, intermodal transportation, and comprehensive logistics solutions to support military operations, humanitarian aid efforts, and other government requirements worldwide.

The company has been awarded numerous federal contracts to provide ocean transportation, freight forwarding, and logistics services for various agencies. Major customers include the Department of Defense, particularly the Army's Surface Deployment and Distribution Command, Air Force's Air Mobility Command, and Navy's Naval Supply Systems Command. CMA CGM has transported military equipment, vehicles, supplies, and humanitarian cargo to support operations in regions such as the Middle East, Africa, Europe, and Asia-Pacific. Specific services have included shipping containers, helicopters, and vehicles to locations like Somalia, transporting COVID-19 test kits to the Solomon Islands, and delivering ready-to-use therapeutic food for USAID to support UNICEF programs in countries like Chad and Djibouti. The company has also provided port and regional logistics services in Europe and stevedoring services in Singapore. Most contracts are awarded without set-aside designations, given CMA CGM's status as a large, foreign-owned corporation.

CMA CGM holds several key indefinite-delivery vehicles (IDVs) that enable it to receive task orders from multiple agencies. These include the Multimodal-3 contract, which supports global transportation and logistics efforts for the Army, allowing for multimodal freight transportation solutions. The Ocean and Intermodal Cargo Transport 2019 IDV facilitates ocean and intermodal cargo shipments, primarily between the U.S. and Japan, for the Surface Deployment and Distribution Command. CMA CGM also holds the USTRANSCOM Universal Service Contract-8, supporting U.S. Transportation Command's freight needs. Additionally, the company has IDVs for port and regional logistics services in Europe (P & RLS-E) and stevedoring and related terminal services (S & RTS) in Singapore. These vehicles allow various defense agencies to quickly procure CMA CGM's services for a wide range of transportation and logistics requirements supporting global military operations and humanitarian missions.
