Description
The U.S. Transportation Command (USTRANSCOM) is conducting market research to assess industry capability for long‑term, non‑temporary storage of retrograde containerized household goods (HHG) for military and civilian DoD personnel. The eventual contract will be a single‑award, coast‑to‑coast storage services contract covering facilities near the Port of Norfolk, VA and the Port of Oakland, CA. Contractors must own or lease climate‑controlled, fire‑segregated warehouses capable of handling up to 30 million lb of HHG, provide secure IT integration with government systems, and meet stringent security, fire‑safety, and cyber‑security requirements.
• Provide owned or leased storage facilities within 50 mi of Norfolk, VA and Oakland, CA, meeting temperature (35‑75 °F) and humidity (30‑55 %) controls, 1‑hour firewalls per 3 M lb, and 3‑4‑high container stacking.
• Perform receipt, inspection, fumigation, inventory tracking, and release of HHG, including claim settlement and coordination with Transportation Service Providers.
• Deliver a secure web‑based portal that syncs data to the government warehouse ≥ 24 hours, with ≥ 98 % system uptime and compliance with NIST SP 800‑171.
• Supply all necessary permits, licenses, insurance, and security measures; staff must have Tier 5 background investigations for privileged IT access.
• Meet contractual timelines (e.g., notification within 1 GBD of arrival, handling‑in within 3 GBD, ramp‑up to operational status within 180 days of award).
