Multimodal Fuel Transport Logistics (Barge, Rail, Air)

The contract seeks a subcontractor to provide multimodal fuel transportation services using barge, railcar, or air transport to deliver fuel to remote and inaccessible locations across Africa, where traditional trucking is not feasible. The scope includes end-to-end logistics operations such as customs clearance, handling at remote terminals, and ensuring timely and secure delivery under challenging environmental and infrastructure conditions. All activities must comply with international regulations and DLA Energy standards, with an emphasis on reliability, safety, and operational flexibility in austere environments. The opportunity is posted under NAICS code 483111, indicating water transportation of cargo, though the requirement explicitly includes rail and air modes to support the full scope of multimodal logistics. It is a subcontract under the Department of Defense via DLA Energy, with a submission deadline of August 24, 2026. The performance location spans multiple undefined sites across Africa, requiring the contractor to have proven experience in complex, high-risk logistical operations and the ability to navigate regulatory, political, and geographic obstacles in underserved regions. All parties must be prepared for rapid mobilization and sustained operations without conventional supply chain support.
