Shelter Logistics, Packaging, and OCONUS Deployment

The contract seeks a subcontractor to handle the end-to-end transportation, packaging, and delivery of emergency shelters to both domestic and overseas disaster zones, with a strong emphasis on optimizing shipping dimensions for efficiency and compliance with international logistics standards. The work requires proven capability in OCONUS supply chain operations, including customs clearance, cold chain management where applicable, multi-modal transport coordination, and rapid deployment protocols tailored to austere and high-risk environments. All packaging must meet durability, weather resistance, and ease-of-assembly criteria to ensure shelters arrive intact and ready for immediate use by affected populations. Performance is expected to support U.S. government emergency response efforts under the Department of Homeland Security, with primary place of performance in Washington. The contract is classified as a subcontract under NAICS code 484220, indicating a focus on freight transportation arrangement services. Proposals must be submitted by July 17, 2026, at 5:30 p.m. Eastern Time, and bidders must demonstrate prior experience delivering humanitarian aid logistics under time-sensitive, high-stakes conditions. While no set-aside provisions are specified, responders should be prepared to validate their capacity to operate across global jurisdictions, navigate fluctuating diplomatic and regulatory environments, and coordinate seamlessly with federal agencies and non-governmental partners on the ground.
