The U.S. Transportation Command (USTRANSCOM) and the Military Surface Deployment and Distribution Command (SDDC) are gearing up for the Universal Services Contract – 10 (USC-10). This contract vehicle, with an estimated value of approximately $4 billion, is crucial for the deployment, sustainment, and redeployment of U.S. forces globally. A final Request for Proposals (RFP) is expected this month, according to a pre-solicitation notice in SAM.gov.
