Domestic and International Logistics / FOB Destination Shipping

This contract requires fast-turnaround FOB destination freight delivery of a temperature-sensitive, shelf-life-controlled CC battery to NASA Armstrong at Edwards, California, with zip code 93523. All shipments must adhere to strict temperature controls and expiration date compliance throughout transit, ensuring the integrity of the sensitive payload. Full end-to-end tracking is mandatory, with real-time visibility and documentation to meet NASA’s rigorous operational and regulatory standards. The delivery must be completed within a highly compressed timeline, reflecting the urgency of the mission-critical nature of the shipment. The contract is classified as a subcontract under NAICS code 484220, which pertains to general freight trucking, and it is issued by the NASA Shared Services Center under the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. The solicitation has a very tight response deadline of July 8, 2026, at 9:00 PM, following a posting date of July 7, 2026, indicating an expedited procurement process. The place of performance is specifically designated as Edwards, CA, and all logistics must terminate at this location under FOB Destination terms, meaning the vendor bears all risks and responsibilities until the goods are delivered and accepted at the final destination. Compliance with temperature profiles, chain-of-custody records, and shelf-life validation will be non-negotiable, and failure to meet these requirements could result in rejection of the shipment and contract breach. The urgency and specificity suggest the battery is integral to a time-sensitive aerospace or testing operation at the NASA Armstrong facility.
