Domestic Freight & Expedited Delivery to Naval Submarine

A small business subcontract is in place to execute the fast and traceable delivery of a poppet screen assembly to the USS HYMAN G. RICKOVER (SSN 795) located in Groton, Connecticut, under FOB Origin terms, meaning the buyer assumes all shipping responsibilities and risks once the item leaves the seller’s location. The contract requires the use of the fastest available traceable transportation methods to ensure timely arrival, aligning with the urgent operational needs of the naval submarine program. The solicitation, posted by the Defense Logistics Agency under the Department of Defense, is restricted exclusively to small businesses as a Total Small Business Set-Aside under SBA guidelines, with the NAICS code 484220 indicating it falls under truck transportation for local and long-haul freight. Responses are due by August 10, 2026, with the intent to secure a vendor capable of meeting strict delivery timelines and documentation standards critical to maintaining the readiness of the Virginia-class submarine fleet.
