Freight and Final Delivery Logistics (FOB Destination)

The contract outlines the transportation and final delivery of equipment to Naval Station Everett, WA, with the contractor assuming full responsibility for ensuring the safe and timely arrival of all items at the destination. This is a FOB Destination agreement, meaning ownership and risk transfer to the government only upon successful delivery, requiring the vendor to manage all logistics including handling, transit, and unloading without additional cost or liability to the government. The effort is classified as a total small business set-aside under SBA guidelines, reserving the opportunity exclusively for small businesses as defined by the FAR, and the North American Industry Classification System code 484220 confirms this is a specialized freight transportation service contract. The solicitation, posted on June 29, 2026, with a strict response deadline of July 1, 2026, at 9:00 PM, is issued under DLA Maritime - Puget Sound, a subordinate entity of the Department of Defense. Although the primary place of performance is listed as Bremerton, WA with a zip code of 98314, the actual delivery endpoint is Naval Station Everett, requiring the contractor to navigate regional logistics between these locations. This subcontract does not specify a point of contact, and the procurement is managed through the SAM.gov platform, indicating a formal federal contracting process focused on secure, reliable, and compliant delivery of defense-related equipment with strict accountability for condition and timing upon receipt.
