Bremerhaven, Germany - Longshoring & Warehousing Services

The contract concerns the procurement of longshoring and warehousing services at the Port of Bremerhaven, Germany, with the stated need justified through a redacted Justification and Approval (J&A) for using other than full and open competition. This suggests that a unique or urgent requirement restricts competition, often due to specialized needs or timeline constraints. The contract falls under NAICS code 488320, which covers marine cargo handling, and is managed by USTRANSCOM-AQ under the Department of Defense, indicating its importance in supporting military logistics and operations. Solicitation number HTC711-25-R-E123 was posted on October 6, 2025, and does not include any set-aside for specific business categories, meaning it is open to any qualified provider but was not competed in the traditional sense. The office overseeing the acquisition is located at Scott Air Force Base, Illinois, with Laura Tebbe and Jane Burkemper listed as primary and secondary points of contact. The scope and location—Bremerhaven, a major North Sea port—highlight the contract’s strategic role in global military transportation.
