International FOB Destination Logistics & Delivery

The contract governs the end-to-end international transportation of a high-value aircraft tire from a U.S. supplier to RAF Mildenhall in the United Kingdom, operating under FOB Destination terms, meaning risk and responsibility transfer to the buyer only upon delivery at the designated UK location. The logistics provider is fully accountable for arranging and executing all phases of movement, including origin pickup, ocean or air freight, UK customs clearance, and final delivery, with no cost or liability passed to the consignee until the goods are received at the destination. Comprehensive cargo insurance is mandatory throughout the shipment lifecycle, covering loss, damage, or delay from origin to final delivery, and all customs documentation and regulatory compliance for both U.S. export and U.K. import must be handled by the contractor. The work falls under NAICS code 488190 for other support activities for air transportation, indicating a specialized logistics service tailored to defense-related air cargo. The contract is issued as a subcontract by the Defense Logistics Agency under the Department of Defense, indicating strict adherence to federal and military supply chain protocols. Although the solicitation number and specific office details are not provided, the performance location is fixed at RAF Mildenhall, and the contract is tied to federal procurement systems via the DIBBS portal. Timeline and performance metrics are implicitly bound to standard international shipping windows and defense delivery expectations, with the contractor bearing all costs associated with delays, non-compliance, or insurance gaps until formal acceptance at the destination.
