Domestic Freight and Logistics

The contract mandates the transport of packaged brake components using U.S.-flagged vessels for any oceanic shipment, ensuring full compliance with DFARS 252.247-7002, which restricts foreign-flagged shipping for certain defense-related cargo. The work is classified as a subcontract under a total small business set-aside, meaning only small businesses certified by the SBA may submit proposals, and the North American Industry Classification System code 483110 identifies the primary scope as coastal and Great Lakes water transportation. Performance is required to occur at the specified location in Suffolk, Virginia, with a zip code of 23435-5000, and all logistical operations must align with Department of Defense procurement protocols under the agency name LAND SUPPLIER OPNS VEHICLE SPT. The solicitation was posted on July 30, 2026, and responses must be submitted by August 10, 2026, providing a twelve-day window for interested small businesses to prepare and submit proposals. The contracting entity operates under the Department of Defense, and the requirement emphasizes adherence to domestic maritime regulations to support national security and industrial base objectives. While no point of contact or specific award value is provided, the use of a U.S.-flag requirement and the SBA set-aside status indicate a clear priority on domestic logistics capacity and small business participation in defense supply chain support.
