The contract is for the transportation of a structural beam to Fort Knox, Kentucky, under a subcontract issued by the Defense Logistics Agency on behalf of the Department of Defense. The hauler must be certified to handle hazardous materials in compliance with Department of Transportation regulations, as the preservation methods applied to the beam may involve regulated substances. The work requires full adherence to DOT hazmat protocols throughout transit, including proper labeling, documentation, and secure handling procedures to ensure safety and regulatory compliance. The place of performance is specified as Fort Knox with a zip code of 40121-5000, and the contractor must be prepared to meet all federal transport requirements for oversized or heavy military-grade components. The solicitation was posted on July 26, 2026, with a response deadline of August 6, 2026, and the NAICS code 484220 indicates this is for specialized truck transportation services, likely involving flatbed or heavy-haul operations. The contract does not specify a set-aside status, meaning it is open to all qualified vendors regardless of business size or ownership type. Contractors must be capable of coordinating with federal authorities, maintaining compliance throughout the transport route, and delivering the beam in a condition suitable for military use. All participants must be fully prepared to demonstrate hazmat certification, provide proof of insurance, and support any inspection or audit requirements tied to DoD logistics standards.
