Freight & Shipping Services (FOB Destination)

The contract requires the crating, handling, and shipment of a 400 Hz converter from the manufacturer to NSWC Dahlgren, Virginia, under FOB Destination terms, meaning the seller is responsible for all costs and risks until the item reaches the specified delivery location. This includes proper packaging, transportation, and ensuring the equipment arrives undamaged and in working condition, with title and risk of loss transferring only upon delivery. The work must be completed in compliance with all applicable shipping and defense logistics standards, and the contractor must manage logistics coordination to meet the strict timeline dictated by the solicitation. The request was posted on May 5, 2026, with responses due by 4:00 PM EST on May 6, 2026, indicating a very narrow window for proposal submission. It is classified as a subcontract under NAICS code 484220, which pertains to truck transportation for specialized freight. The awarding agency is the Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division under the Department of Defense, with the place of performance firmly identified as Dahlgren, Virginia, ZIP 22448. The urgency of the response deadline and the specificity of the equipment to be shipped suggest this is a time-sensitive mission-critical delivery, requiring proven experience in handling sensitive military-grade electrical equipment.
