# State Department Signs UPS Disaster Logistics MoU

On November 2, 2026, the U.S. Department of State signed a memorandum of understanding with United Parcel Service (UPS) to draw on UPS’s logistics network, cargo transportation, and supply-chain expertise for State-led disaster responses worldwide. The announcement describes an operational partnership, not a priced contract or open solicitation, so it does not establish an immediate bid opportunity.

- The MoU identifies UPS as a logistics resource for humanitarian disaster response; no contract value, solicitation number, or procurement deadline was announced.
- Companies providing cargo transportation, supply-chain, or disaster-response logistics services can assess how their capabilities may support future State-led response requirements.
- As indicated in the announcement, contractors may monitor for future disaster-response logistics requirements and opportunities to support implementation.
