Yusuf Bin Ahmed Kanoo Company W.L.L.

Yusuf Bin Ahmed Kanoo Company W.L.L., doing business as Bahrain Ship Labour Agency, is a Bahrain-based maritime logistics vendor that provides stevedoring and related terminal services to the Department of the Army as a prime contractor under full-and-open competition (no set-asides used). The for-profit limited liability company, registered in SAM.gov since 2011 and based in Bahrain's Diplomatic Area, operates almost exclusively as a prime (98% of awards) on a single indefinite delivery contract with the Army's Surface Deployment and Distribution Command (SDDC).

Customer concentration is extreme and stable. SDDC accounts for 35 of 52 total awards and $23.7 million of the $26.1 million combined potential value across the vendor's footprint. The New Hampshire Army National Guard represents the secondary customer with 16 awards valued at $2.4 million, and a single Department of the Navy Installations Command award rounds out the portfolio. SDDC's concentration is both by award count and dollar magnitude — the two rankings are identical.

The vendor holds a single-award indefinite delivery contract (HTC71117DR002) with SDDC established July 6, 2022, carrying a $3.23 million ceiling and running through January 5, 2028. Under this vehicle, SDDC has issued 26 delivery orders with combined potential value of $4.4 million, ranging from $236 to $507,853, structured as firm fixed-price monthly performance periods. Representative recent work includes a $507,853 delivery order (December 2024), a $97,846 delivery order (November 2025), and a $79,658 delivery order (May 2025), all for cargo handling and port operations at Bahrain ports supporting Army global distribution. The vendor also holds a secondary SDDC contract (HTC71122DR018) with 23 task orders valued at $1.1 million combined potential. Combined dollars obligated across all awards stand at $6.5 million, representing 25% of total ceiling value.

Activity peaked in 2023 with 13 awards, declined to one award in 2024, and rebounded to eight awards in 2025. No subcontract presence exists in the portfolio except for a single sub-award in August 2023 with KBR Diego Garcia, LLC for visa and travel services supporting military logistics operations. Place of performance is exclusively Bahrain. The vendor's capability footprint is narrowly defined: 51 of 52 awards fall under NAICS 453610 (Marine Cargo Handling) and PSC code for Transportation/Stevedoring, with one outlier award for Facilities Support Services from the New Hampshire Army National Guard.
