First Destination Transportation (FDT) and Domestic Shipping

The contract requires the transportation of packaged fiber optic cable assemblies from the contractor’s origin location to a contiguous U.S. First Destination Transportation (FDT) hub, with final delivery specifically to Camp Pendleton, California, under FOB Origin terms. This means the contractor assumes responsibility for the goods only until they are loaded onto the carrier at the point of origin, after which risk and cost transfer to the buyer. The shipment must comply with all domestic shipping regulations and logistics standards applicable to defense-related cargo, with the ultimate destination designated by the ZIP code 92055-5351. The solicitation is classified as a subcontract under NAICS code 484220, which corresponds to truck transportation of freight, and is issued by the Department of Defense through the Maritime Supply Chain agency. Interested parties must submit responses by the deadline of August 7, 2026, to ensure consideration for award, with all logistics planning required to align with the FDT program’s constraints and timelines.
