🇺🇸Transportation & Logistics Government Contracts in United States

US federal transportation and logistics procurement on SAM.gov covers freight, passenger transportation, warehousing, distribution, household goods moves, and global supply chain management. The Department of Defense, through the US Transportation Command (TRANSCOM) and Defense Logistics Agency (DLA), is the dominant buyer, with contract values ranging from $10,000 for local moves to $5 billion for global logistics support programs. Federal transportation contracts require registration in SAM.gov, appropriate FMCSA and DOT certifications, and compliance with federal security screening requirements. DoD transportation often involves classified cargo handling, hazmat certification, and overseas logistics operations. The Universal Service Contract (USC) program and Global Household Goods Contract (GHC) are major military logistics vehicles. Beyond DoD, agencies like USPS, FEMA, and the State Department procure significant transportation services. The federal government values carriers with GPS tracking, electronic proof of delivery, and real-time visibility capabilities. Small businesses, particularly service-disabled veteran-owned (SDVOSB) firms, receive significant set-aside preference in federal transportation procurement. Experience with CONUS and OCONUS logistics operations is a major competitive differentiator.
