Logistics Monitoring Support at Port of Um

I need to complete a Technical Proposal relating to Logistics Monitoring Support services to the US Military to be provided at the Port of Umm Qasr in Iraq and thus require Technical Writing in this field as I am not a subject matter expert on/in the logistics industry/this type of services.

I work for KGL (www.kgl.com) and we are a logistics provider (see PDF document on a KGL proposal submitted historically providing company information about our capability), the opportunity is in Iraq, and as such we will be partnering with an Iraqi company, Al-Badia Union Group (no website) (see MS PowerPoint document on an overview of Al-Badia Union Group) on this opportunity. Consider that jointly as partners we have the financial resources, the human resources and all necessary equipment, certifications and licenses to operate the contract and perform the services as required – embellish as need be, when I use the document I will see where we fall short and ensure we obtain necessary resources to ensure the writing matches the actual or I will omit when we will not be able to make the needed adjustments.

I require 5 technically competent pages written, on the following:
