Domestic and International Freight Shipping

The 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. This is a subcontract issued by the Department of Defense under the agency name CONSTRUCTION & EQUIPMENT CONTAINERS, with the posting date of July 20, 2026, and a response deadline of July 31, 2026. The contract is open to eligible subcontractors seeking to provide freight services under the broader defense logistics framework, with performance tied to the Norfolk location. Although solicitation and set-aside details are not specified, the requirement to use U.S.-flag vessels underscores a national security imperative, prioritizing American-owned and operated maritime assets for the secure and compliant movement of defense-related cargo.
