About the company
US Ocean LLC, a New Orleans-based ocean freight and intermodal transportation provider held as a division of parent company Patriot Shipping LLC, operates as a prime contractor (96% of awards) under full-and-open competition on the Universal Services Contract 10 (USC-10), a $4 billion multiple-award IDIQ administered by U.S. Transportation Command with performance extending through August 31, 2027. The company has no SBA set-aside designations and competes in the open market; competition on USC-10 is limited to vessel-owning or vessel-controlling companies on operational requirement grounds, a FAR 6.302-3 restricted-competition posture that reflects its role as a specialized ocean carrier for the Defense Transportation System.
US Ocean LLC delivers fixed-price ocean freight and intermodal cargo transportation services with economic price adjustments for consolidated military shipments coordinated by decentralized ordering officers worldwide. Recent representative prime work includes an $18.9 million delivery order from the Air Force for consolidated shipments to the Philippines (March 2025, USC-10), a $15.78 million Air Mobility Command delivery order for global ocean and intermodal transportation (May 2024, Ocean and Intermodal Cargo Transport 2019), and a $9.7 million Army Materiel Command Surface Deployment and Distribution Command order for consolidated shipments to South Korea (May 2023, Ocean and Intermodal Cargo Transport 2019). Places of performance span New Orleans, Louisiana; Baton Rouge, Louisiana; Wayne, Pennsylvania; international shipping routes to the Philippines, South Korea, Japan, Australia, Turkey, Morocco, and Middle Eastern locations; and support both domestic and overseas military installations.
Customer concentration is heavily weighted toward Department of Defense transportation commands. The top five customers account for 97% of awards by count: the Army Materiel Command Surface Deployment and Distribution Command leads with 90 awards totaling $207.2 million combined potential value, followed by the Air Force Air Mobility Command (29 awards, $161.1 million), the Office of the Secretary of Defense (28 awards, $12.7 million), the Department of the Air Force (21 awards, $4.08 billion), and the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command (5 awards). The Air Force's $4.08 billion in combined potential value is driven almost entirely by the USC-10 IDIQ ceiling itself rather than obligated delivery-order value; obligated dollars across the entire prime portfolio total $474.6 million (11% of combined potential value), reflecting the indefinite-delivery nature of the vehicles and the monthly task-order cadence of the business. Award activity has grown from 9 in 2022 to 22 in 2024 and 22 in 2025, with four awards issued in the first three months of 2026.
US Ocean LLC holds seats on multiple Department of Defense transportation IDIQs. The Ocean and Intermodal Cargo Transport 2019 vehicle carries 65 task orders worth $254 million in combined potential value, USTRANSCOM Universal Service Contract-8 carries 52 task orders worth $56.9 million, USTRANSCOM USC-7 International Surface Transportation carries 30 task orders worth $16.4 million, and USC-10 carries 18 delivery orders worth $90.9 million. The company also holds two Air Force Contract Augmentation Program V task orders. In its smaller subcontractor role (4% of awards), US Ocean LLC provides ocean freight services to Fluor Intercontinental for pavement and transportation support at Tinian, CNMI, and supplies freight services to National Steel and Shipbuilding Company for tanker ship construction (T-AO 205, T-AO 206, T-AO 207). The portfolio is concentrated in NAICS 482111 (Deep Sea Freight Transportation), with five ship building and repairing awards and two facilities support awards rounding out the profile. No awards expire in the next twelve months, but the company faces significant recompete exposure as USC-10 and related vehicles mature and customer agencies assess competitive alternatives for the next generation of ocean transportation contracts.
