Cart.com operates 6M+ sq ft of secure warehouse space across 14 CONUS facilities, built to the physical security, cybersecurity, and compliance standards government contracts require — for HAZMAT, and serialized Government Furnished Property. Includes 24/7 security, RFID/UID tracking, and full chain-of-custody documentation.

Cart.com's inventory systems are built with vulnerability management, threat detection, endpoint security, and audit logging aligned to NIST SP 800-171, supporting CMMC Level 2 requirements for Controlled Unclassified Information.
Real-time visibility into item, lot, and serial-level inventory, with automated demand forecasting, replenishment alerting, and integration with federal procurement and ERP systems.
Cart.com's secure storage infrastructure is designed and equipped to handle the specific requirements of every category of government inventory — from pharmaceutical controlled substances to high-value serialized equipment.

OMS, WMS & TMS
Cart.com's secure storage operations are powered by enterprise-grade Warehouse Management Software and Order Management Software designed for the full complexity of government inventory programs. Real-time item, lot, and serial-level tracking across every facility provides the visibility that FAR property accountability, DEA inspection readiness, and HAZMAT compliance documentation all require — without manual reconciliation or data gaps. AI-powered demand forecasting helps government program managers stay ahead of consumption patterns and replenishment cycles, reducing the risk of stockouts that affect mission readiness. Automated audit trail generation captures every inventory transaction — receipts, transfers, picks, adjustments, and disposals — creating a complete, tamper-evident record that withstands the scrutiny of OIG, GAO, and DoD oversight reviews. Seamless integration with federal ERP and procurement systems eliminates duplicate data entry and ensures that inventory records in Cart.com's system are always synchronized with agency program records. This is what accountable, auditable government inventory management looks like at scale.
Why Cart.com
Secure government inventory storage requires more than a locked building. It requires a partner with the compliance infrastructure, technology, and operational experience to manage government property with the level of accountability that federal contracts demand.
Cart.com's facilities and operating procedures are designed around the compliance requirements of government contracts — not adapted to meet them after the fact. From HAZMAT storage segregation and DEA Schedule controls to FAR property accountability and NIST cybersecurity alignment, compliance is embedded in how Cart.com's secure storage network operates every day. When agencies come to Cart.com, they are partnering with a provider whose compliance infrastructure was built for government, not retrofitted to serve it.
Cart.com's government property accountability program satisfies FAR 52.245-1 requirements across every category of GFP — maintaining complete, auditable records from initial receipt through final disposition. Inventory records are accessible to agency property administrators in real time, and periodic reporting provides the transaction-level detail required for government property accountability reviews. Agencies have full visibility into what is in Cart.com's custody, where it is, and what has happened to it.
Cart.com's secure storage network integrates physical and cybersecurity controls into a unified protection posture — 24/7 monitoring, access-controlled environments, CCTV, intrusion detection, and NIST SP 800-171-aligned digital security across every facility storing sensitive government inventory. Physical security without cybersecurity leaves inventory data exposed. Cart.com protects both the property and the information systems that manage it.
Cart.com's value-added services — including inspection, kitting, repackaging, labeling, embroidery, RFID/UID tagging, and returns processing — are performed within the secure storage environment, maintaining chain-of-custody throughout every operation. Agencies do not need to move inventory outside the secure perimeter to access fulfillment or assembly services. A single secure facility handles storage, processing, and outbound distribution under one accountable roof.
Nationwide network of 18 fulfillment facilities with over 10M+ square feet of warehouse space. Strategic locations across the country enable the speed, scalability and flexibility brands need to thrive in today’s ecommerce market.
Government pharmaceutical programs — spanning DLA pharmaceutical distribution, VA medical supply chains, and agency-specific controlled substance programs — require secure storage that satisfies pharmaceutical storage standards.
Cart.com's facilities include CGMP-compliant pharmaceutical storage environments, and the cold chain capabilities required for temperature-sensitive pharmaceutical products.
Government programs managing serialized, high-value, or sensitive equipment — including electronics, optical systems, weapons components, and specialized tools — require storage with individual-item accountability, physical protection, and condition monitoring that standard warehouse environments cannot provide.
Cart.com's UID and MIL-STD-130 tracking capabilities provide the item-level serialization and IUID Registry integration needed for DoD property accountability requirements. High-value assets are stored in access-controlled areas with restricted personnel access, CCTV monitoring, and documented handling procedures. Regular cycle counts, condition inspections, and AI-powered inventory reporting keep program managers informed of asset status — and audit-ready for government property reviews at any time.

Cart.com's secure inventory storage is not a standalone service — it is integrated into a full government supply chain platform that connects storage, fulfillment, transportation, and technology under one partner relationship.
From storage to distribution: end-to-end GFP management
Cart.com manages government inventory from the moment it arrives at our dock through every transfer, value-added operation, and outbound shipment — maintaining complete FAR 52.245-1 accountability throughout. Outbound distribution from secure storage connects directly to Cart.com's transportation management capabilities, ensuring that chain-of-custody documentation follows every shipment from storage through final delivery. Agencies that manage GFP through Cart.com benefit from a single, integrated accountability record that spans the full lifecycle of their inventory.
Real-time visibility for agency program managers
Cart.com's inventory management software provides government program managers and property administrators with real-time access to inventory records — item counts, locations, lot and serial numbers, transaction history, and condition status — across every Cart.com facility holding their inventory. Automated reporting packages deliver the periodic inventory summaries and transaction logs that government property accountability reviews require, without manual compilation. When an OIG or GAO auditor asks for records, Cart.com's system produces them immediately and completely.
VMI: consumption-based replenishment from secure storage
Cart.com's Vendor Managed Inventory programs integrate secure storage with automated consumption monitoring and replenishment logistics — ensuring that agency facilities maintain target stock levels without manual ordering cycles. GFP stored at Cart.com facilities can be managed as a VMI-replenished inventory pool, with AI-powered demand forecasting informing replenishment timing and quantities. The result is a secure, accountable inventory program that stays stocked, stays compliant, and stays connected to agency demand signals in real time.
Scalable capacity for program growth and surge
Government storage programs grow as missions evolve, and emergency situations can require rapid expansion of secure storage capacity on short notice. Cart.com's distributed CONUS network provides the scalable capacity to absorb program growth — new product categories, additional SKUs, increased volume — without requiring new facility agreements or contract vehicles. Emergency surge storage needs can be activated quickly across Cart.com's existing network, providing agencies with the flexibility to respond to unexpected inventory requirements without compromising security or compliance standards.
