ARC Group Awarded FEMA Contract for Emergency Supply Chain Operations
The American Roll-On/Roll-Off Carrier (ARC) Group has been selected by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) for an indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contract to bolster national disaster-response capabilities.
Under the agreement, ARC Group will provide critical cross-dock logistics and incident base support for FEMA’s emergency supply chain. The contract enables rapid mobilization of relief cargo, including vehicles, equipment, and humanitarian aid, to disaster-stricken regions across the United States.
Key Contract Highlights
- Flexible Deployment: ARC Group’s roll-on/roll-off (Ro-Ro) vessels ensure efficient loading and unloading of high-priority cargo, minimizing turnaround times during crises.
- Nationwide Reach: The IDIQ structure allows FEMA to activate ARC Group’s services on demand, ensuring scalable response for hurricanes, wildfires, and other large-scale emergencies.
- Proven Expertise: With a fleet of U.S.-flagged vessels and a track record in military and humanitarian logistics, ARC Group is positioned to meet FEMA’s stringent operational requirements.
The contract underscores the maritime industry’s pivotal role in national resilience, particularly in high-stakes scenarios where time-sensitive deliveries can save lives and accelerate recovery efforts.
ARC Group’s CEO stated, “This partnership with FEMA reinforces our commitment to supporting critical infrastructure during emergencies. Our team stands ready to deliver when it matters most.”
