The Military Surface Deployment and Distribution Command (SDDC) plans to extend the existing contract DAMT01-02-0029, which provides stevedoring services at the Concord Command in Concord, California, for an additional two months. The current contract is set to expire on June 30, 2005, but the extension will allow the ordering period to continue through August 30, 2005, ensuring uninterrupted service while the solicitation process for a new contract is completed under solicitation number W81GYE-04-R-0043. The services are currently provided by APL, and while this notice is not a formal request for proposals, any responses submitted before 2:00 p.m. on June 28, 2005, will be considered. This extension pertains to stevedoring and terminal-related services classified under NAICS code 488320 and is managed by the Headquarters Surface Deployment and Distribution Command, located at Scott Air Force Base in Illinois. The purpose of the extension is to maintain continuation of operations without disruption during the transition period for procuring the new contract. The contract is identified as "MOTCO Stevedoring and Terminal Related Services 2 Month Extension," and reflects the Department of Defense’s effort to ensure a smooth procurement process while maintaining vital logistical support at the Concord Command facility.
