Bahrain Stevedoring, Cargo Handling, and Terminal Services

U.S. Transportation Command is seeking a contractor to provide stevedoring and related terminal services for U.S. Government cargo in Bahrain. - Government buyer: U.S. Transportation Command (USTRANSCOM), including USTRANSCOM/TCAQ-R; related offices and units cited include the 595th USA Transportation Surface Brigade, the 831st Transportation Battalion, and NSA Bahrain. Named contacts include Cassandra Range, Casey Schuette, and Steven Spencer. The attachments also identify the U.S. Army Transportation Command (ARTRANS); one rate-schedule attachment describes the Kingdom of Bahrain as the buyer. - OEMs and vendors: No commercial OEMs, vendors, or resellers are identified. “Hustler” and “Yard Dog” appear as examples of yard tractors, not as named contract vendors. - Requirement: End-to-end import/export cargo handling at Bahrain ports and military sites, including Mina Salman Port, Khalifa Bin Salman Port, ASRY Dry Dock, and Naval Support Activity locations. Cargo includes containers, aircraft, breakbulk, vehicles and trailers, ammunition and explosives, hazardous materials, and general cargo. - Services: Vessel and truck loading/unloading; lashing and unlashing; container stuffing and unstuffing; cargo reception, checking, tallying, staging, storage, transfer, and onward transportation; vehicle maintenance and towing; equipment operation; warehousing; customs and agricultural inspection support; and reporting. - Notable requirements: 24/7 operations; safety, security, and environmental compliance; explosives and hazardous-materials handling; emergency response capability; personnel screening and access controls; and cyber security aligned with NIST standards. The contractor must also submit a mission-essential continuity plan covering port-specific operations and continuity for up to 30 days or until normal operations resume. - Rate schedule: Includes cargo-handling rate categories, labor rates for straight time, overtime, and shift differentials, contractor-furnished equipment rentals, storage, and site-support items. Schedule quantities are rate-pricing quantities and do not establish actual demand. - Term and value: Five-year ordering period with an optional six-month extension. The solicitation states a $2,500 minimum guarantee; an attachment reports a total evaluated price of $231,000, which should be treated as an attachment estimate rather than a confirmed contract ceiling. - Eligibility and compliance: The solicitation worksheet identifies NAICS 488320, active SAM registration, current CMMC Level 1 (Self) status in SPRS for systems handling FCI/CUI, and a trafficking-in-persons compliance certification.
