Quick Summary

The US Transportation Command (USTRANSCOM) has posted a Justification and Approval (J&A) for Modification P00018 to the existing Stevedoring & Related Terminal Services (S&RTS) Mid-Atlantic contract (HTC711-20-D-R035). This modification extends the contract's Period of Performance (PoP) by seven months, from March 1, 2026, to September 30, 2026, to ensure continuity of critical services in Charleston, SC. The modification is justified under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(2) due to unusual and compelling urgency. The existing contract ceiling remains unchanged.

Scope of Change

  • Extension of Period of Performance: The contract's PoP is extended by seven months, now concluding on September 30, 2026.
  • No Change in Ceiling: The overall contract ceiling remains as previously established.
  • No Change in Scope: The scope of work, as defined in the contract's Performance Work Statement, is unaffected by this modification.

Contract & Timeline

  • Contract Type: Modification to an existing contract (HTC711-20-D-R035)
  • Product Service Code: V114 (Stevedoring)
  • Place of Performance: Charleston, SC, United States
  • Published Date: March 17, 2026

Justification

The modification is necessary to prevent a lapse in essential stevedoring services, which would severely degrade operational capabilities and pose an unacceptable risk to military operations. This urgent action allows for continued service while a follow-on contract, procured through a full and open competitive RFP issued on July 23, 2025, is finalized. Competitive offers were not sought for this specific modification due to the urgency.

Additional Notes

Contract pricing was reviewed and validated, with a modest rate increase approved to account for economic changes, determined by the Contracting Officer to be fair and reasonable.
