Quick Summary
The U.S. Transportation Command (USTRANSCOM), specifically TCAQ and ARTRANS, is hosting a pre-solicitation conference for the upcoming Guam Stevedoring and Related Terminal Services (S&RTS) opportunity. This conference aims to review solicitation requirements and the Performance Work Statement (PWS) for services within Guam ports, including Kilo Wharf. Participation requests and pre-submitted questions are due by May 12, 2026, at 1200 CDT. The conference will be held via Microsoft Teams on May 14, 2026. This is an informational meeting prior to the official solicitation release.
Scope of Work
The future procurement will require comprehensive stevedoring and related terminal services for U.S. Military cargo (containers, vehicles, breakbulk, etc.) at designated seaports in Guam (Guam Port Authority and Naval Base Guam), and potentially secondary ports in Saipan and Tinian. Services include vessel loading and discharge, cargo management, staging, intra-port transfers, cargo preparation, and handling of various supply classes, including military vehicles, ammunition, and hazardous materials. Operations are required 24/7/365. The PWS also details requirements for security, safety, contract administration, performance standards, and environmental protocols.

Additional Notes
Interested vendors are limited to two (2) attendees unless otherwise approved and must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM). It is recommended that vendors have NAICS Code 488320 (Stevedoring), as this will likely be required for proposal submission. Attendees should review the 14 April 2026 draft PWS in advance. To participate, email Laura Tebbe (laura.b.tebbe.civ@mail.mil) and Otto Roberts (otto.d.roberts.civ@mail.mil) with company name, CAGE Code, attendee details, and specific PWS/solicitation questions. Questions and answers will be posted on SAM.gov after the meeting.
