Disaster Overseas Transportation Support (DOTS) for Guam, CNMI and American Samoa 2026

The Federal Emergency Management Agency is seeking to establish a multiple award Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity contract for comprehensive disaster response transportation, staging, and staffing support across the OCONUS territories of Guam, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands including Saipan, Tinian, and Rota, and American Samoa. This effort, titled Disaster Overseas Transportation Support for Guam, CNMI and American Samoa 2026, is designed to ensure rapid and effective logistical capabilities during emergencies, with a specific requirement to move personnel, equipment, and supplies efficiently in remote and challenging environments. One award under this contract will be exclusively reserved for a small business vendor capable of fulfilling the full scope of work, reflecting a commitment to small business participation in critical national response operations. The NAICS code 483111 indicates the classification for water transportation of freight and cargo, underscoring the primary reliance on maritime logistics given the geographic isolation of the territories. The contract will be managed under the Department of Homeland Security, with key points of contact available for inquiries, including Michael Cimato and Karley Hoyt from FEMA for general inquiries and Amy Connolly serving as the Small Business Specialist and APFS Coordinator to assist prospective vendors, particularly small businesses. While no solicitation number or posted date is listed, the procurement is currently in a forecast stage as a preparatory step before formal release. Performance will be focused entirely within the designated territories, requiring vendors to possess not only the logistical capacity but also the experience in operating across oceanic and underserved regions subject to extreme weather and infrastructure limitations. Vendors must be prepared to meet urgent deployment timelines and coordinate with federal, territorial, and local authorities under austere conditions.
