Founded in 1987 and headquartered at Scott Air Force Base, Illinois, the U.S. Transportation Command (USTRANSCOM) has the mission of providing air, land, and sea transportation for the DoD to allow our country to deploy its forces in times of war and peace anywhere in the world for as long as they are required.

According to the Defense Studies Institute, on a weekly basis, USTRANSCOM conducts more than 1,900 air missions, 25 transport ships at sea worldwide, and over 10,000 ground shipments in transit.  USTRANSCOM also conducts transportation in 75% of the world’s countries.

To accomplish its mission, it uses trucks, trains, rail cars, aircraft, ships, information systems, and global transportation infrastructure to move people, supplies, equipment, and defense systems around the world.

Doing business with the USTRANSCOM

If you are wondering how to do business with the Transportation Command and get federal contracts, you should know there is an entity that advocates for small firms’ utilization within this transportation system.

The OSBP offers you several resources and tools for you to succeed in the federal market. Through a step-by-step guide, it shows you how to sell your product or service and win your first government contract.
