Domestic and International Freight Logistics (FOB Origin)

The contract involves the domestic transportation of valves from the supplier’s facility to a designated shipping point under FOB Origin terms, meaning the contractor is responsible for delivering the goods to the carrier at the supplier’s location, at which point title and risk of loss transfer to the buyer. The contractor must ensure timely and secure movement of the valves to the carrier without delay or damage, adhering to all logistics requirements specified under the agreement. This is a subcontract awarded under a Small Business Set Aside, classified under NAICS code 484220 for truck transportation, and is managed by the Navy Supply Systems Command Fleet Logistics Center Puget Sound under the Department of Defense. The solicitation, posted on August 6, 2026, has a response deadline of August 17, 2026, and is open exclusively to qualified small businesses. The place of performance is not explicitly defined beyond the need to transport valves from the supplier facility to a shipping point, implying flexibility in route and carrier selection as long as FOB Origin conditions are met. The contract does not specify international movement, limiting obligations to domestic transport within the United States. All logistics operations must comply with defense procurement standards and ensure seamless handoff to the carrier at the point of origin.
