FOB-Origin Defense-Compliant Transportation and Ocean Shipment

This contract requires the secure and traceable transportation of materials from an origin point to Virginia Beach, VA, using the fastest available methods that exclude parcel post services. All logistics must adhere to Department of Defense standards and, where applicable, ocean transport regulations to ensure compliance with federal maritime and defense protocols. The shipment must maintain full traceability throughout the journey, ensuring accountability and security at every transit point. The place of performance is specified as Virginia Beach with a zip code of 23459-3018, and the NAICS code 488999 indicates this involves other support activities for water transportation, emphasizing specialized logistical coordination rather than standard freight services. The contract is classified as a subcontract under the Maritime Supply Chain organization within the Department of Defense, with a posted date of July 16, 2026, and a response deadline of July 27, 2026. Contractors must be prepared to meet rigorous operational standards for speed, security, and regulatory alignment, particularly given the defense context and the exclusion of common parcel delivery channels. While no set-aside provisions are specified, the requirement for DoD compliance suggests the need for certified vendors familiar with military logistics, supply chain integrity, and potentially classified handling procedures. Interested parties must submit proposals through the designated DIBBS portal prior to the deadline to be considered for award.
