Domestic Equipment Shipping and Logistics

The contract pertains to the secure domestic transportation of sensitive laboratory equipment from a supplier to an FDA facility in Colorado, with strict requirements for tracking, chain-of-custody protocols, and definitive delivery confirmation. The work must be performed under the NAICS code 484220, which classifies it as general freight trucking, and is structured as a subcontract under the Department of Health and Human Services, specifically managed by the FDA Office of Acquisition and Grant Services. The equipment being transported is critical to federal operations and requires specialized handling to ensure integrity, security, and compliance with regulatory standards throughout transit. All logistics must be executed with precision to prevent damage, loss, or delay, with real-time visibility and documentation provided at every stage. The solicitation was posted on July 31, 2026, with a firm response deadline of August 10, 2026, at 5:00 p.m. The place of performance is identified as a location in Colorado, though the exact city and state details are not fully specified in the data. No set-aside provisions are indicated, meaning the contract is open to all qualified contractors regardless of business size or categorization. The absence of a point of contact and detailed office address suggests that all communications and submissions must follow standard federal procurement channels via the provided SAM.gov portal link. Bidders are expected to demonstrate proven experience in handling high-value, sensitive scientific equipment, adherence to federal transport regulations, and the capability to deliver with full accountability and traceability.
