The United States Transportation Command (USTRANSCOM) is issuing a Request for Information (RFI) for the Denton Cargo Transportation Management, set to re-compete its existing contract. Scheduled for 2024, this initiative seeks market insights to develop an effective acquisition strategy for providing technical support, personnel, and necessary resources to manage the movement of humanitarian cargo. The RFI is not a proposal request, and responses will inform future RFPs without affecting potential evaluations. USTRANSCOM encourages participation from businesses of all sizes, particularly small businesses eligible under various socio-economic categories, with a focus on maintaining the program’s 8(a) status. Interested parties must outline their capabilities, prior experience, and commercial availability of related services, while also detailing any relevant contracting vehicles. The RFI was released on September 17, 2024, with responses due by October 10, 2024, as USTRANSCOM prepares for a contract effective on April 1, 2025, following the expiration of the current contract. This document serves as a market research tool to optimize procurement processes for Denton cargo logistics.
