3D Expeditionary Contracting Platoon Inbox

The 3D Expeditionary Contracting Platoon Inbox serves as the centralized procurement entity for the Commanding General under the Department of the Navy, responsible for executing time-sensitive, mission-critical acquisitions that sustain operational readiness across expeditionary and garrison environments. Specializing in rapid-response contracting, the team manages a high-volume portfolio of logistics, maintenance, and equipment support contracts essential to naval and marine force mobility and combat system sustainment. Their acquisitions focus on mission-enabling infrastructure, specialized machinery, and transportation services critical to forward-deployed operations, ensuring seamless integration of supply chain capabilities in austere and dynamic operational theaters. The Platoon maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including MANCON LLC, GEMINI TECH SERVICES LLC, CHEMBLE SOLUTIONS, LLC, MICROTECHNOLOGIES LLC, and SAELIG COMPANY, INC., each recognized for their expertise in rapid deployment logistics, technical equipment support, and specialized maintenance services. These partnerships are characterized by repeat engagements and performance-based contract structures, reflecting a preference for vendors with proven reliability in expeditionary conditions and a capacity to meet urgent operational timelines under tight regulatory and security constraints. While the majority of acquisitions (66.7%) are conducted as unrestricted competitions, the Platoon maintains a robust commitment to small business participation, with one-third of awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This pattern reflects a deliberate strategy to leverage agile, niche-capable vendors while ensuring competitive diversity in the expeditionary support ecosystem, without reliance on specific socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a) or HUBZone. The Platoon’s procurement focus is concentrated in three key NAICS categories: Deep Sea Freight Transportation (483111), Coastal and Great Lakes Freight Transportation (483113), and Other Commercial and Industrial Machinery and Equipment Rental and Leasing (532490). These reflect a specialized domain expertise in maritime logistics, mobile equipment support, and the rapid provisioning of mission-critical machinery essential to naval force projection and sustainment.
