The U.S. Transportation Command (USTRANSCOM) is preparing to procure small package delivery services through the Next Generation Delivery Service-2 (NGDS-2) contract, which will cover both international and domestic express package delivery for U.S. Federal Government entities and their contractors. The services will include door-to-door express delivery with time-definite pick-up and delivery, in-transit visibility, and customs clearance when necessary. Shipment weight limits vary by region, with international shipments allowed up to 300 pounds, and domestic shipments up to 150 pounds within the Continental U.S., and up to 300 pounds for shipments involving Alaska, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico. The contract will have a base period of four years from October 1, 2022, to September 30, 2026, with an additional four-year option and a possible six-month extension. The acquisition strategy involves awarding multiple Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contracts to maintain flexibility and coverage, with approximately five contracts expected for both international and domestic transportation services. Contractors must participate in and maintain Civil Reserve Air Fleet (CRAF) status throughout the contract period. The government intends to award a single contract to offerors successful in both service segments. This procurement is conducted under a justification and approval that allows other than full and open competition, and all responsible sources are encouraged to submit bids or proposals.
