Alaska Barge and Final Mile Logistics

The contract seeks a contractor to coordinate and execute the transportation of goods via barge from the mainland United States to Kipnuk, Alaska, with full responsibility for scheduling, customs clearance if required, and the final overland delivery to the destination. This is a subcontract under NAICS code 484220, indicating a focus on truck transportation and logistics services, with the work involving complex multi-modal logistics across challenging geographic and regulatory environments. The contractor must ensure timely and secure movement of freight through coordinated sea and land transport, accounting for weather, remoteness, and potential regulatory hurdles in Alaska. The solicitation was posted on May 18, 2026, with a response deadline of June 10, 2026, at 6:00 PM. The contracting entity is the Kern County Public Works Department of Kern County, California, though the work is entirely focused on delivering cargo to a remote Alaskan community. Despite the agency being based in California, the place of performance is exclusively in Kipnuk, AK, requiring the contractor to manage logistics across vast distances and potentially isolated infrastructure. There is no set-aside designation provided, and the contract does not specify point of contact details, implying that interested parties must rely on the provided portal link for further information and submission requirements.
