Domestic and International Freight ShippingThe contract pertains to the domestic and international freight shipping of units with an FOB Origin term, meaning the seller is responsible for delivering goods to the point of origin and the buyer assumes all costs and risks from that point onward. The final destination for all shipments is Norfolk, VA, specifically the ZIP code 23511-4397, with potential use of U.S.-flag vessels for sea freight as mandated by DFARS 252.247-7023, ensuring compliance with U.S. maritime regulations for defense-related transportation. The NAICS code 484220 indicates this is specifically for truck transportation of freight, but the inclusion of international freight and U.S.-flag vessel requirements implies a multimodal logistics operation involving land and sea transport.
