Freight Shipping & Logistics (FOB Origin, Traceable)

Freight transportation services are required to move goods from origin to Kinston, NC under FOB Origin terms, meaning the buyer assumes responsibility for the shipment once it leaves the seller’s location. The contract mandates that all freight be traceable throughout the journey, ensuring full visibility and accountability from pickup to final delivery. Parcel post services are explicitly excluded, requiring the use of commercial freight carriers that meet higher standards for handling and tracking. Compliance with the Freight Delivery Tracking program is mandatory, enforcing specific protocols for documentation, reporting, and transit monitoring. This subcontract opportunity, classified under NAICS code 484220 for general freight trucking, is issued by the Department of Defense's Maritime Supply Chain ESOC Buys division with a response deadline of August 7, 2026. The work is performance-based and centers on reliable, secure, and fully trackable logistics to a designated destination in Kinston, NC.
