Domestic & International Freight Logistics (FOB Origin, Inspection at Destination)

This contract requires arranging FOB origin shipments to government destinations using U.S.-flag vessels when mandated by regulation or policy, ensuring compliance with maritime preference requirements for defense-related logistics. All freight must be coordinated from the point of origin with transportation to final government locations, and inspections of goods will occur exclusively at the destination rather than during transit or at loading points. The solicitation falls under NAICS code 484220 for general freight trucking, indicating a focus on ground and multimodal transport elements integrated with sea-legs managed by U.S.-registered vessels. Performance is tied to Department of Defense supply chain needs under the Maritime Supply Chain office, with responses due by August 19, 2026, and the opportunity is structured as a subcontract, though no set-aside provisions are specified. The requirement emphasizes adherence to U.S. flag vessel mandates where applicable and the integrity of delivery verification through destination inspections.
