International FOB Destination Shipping & Logistics

The contract mandates the end-to-end transportation of an aircraft tire from the supplier’s location to RAF Mildenhall in the United Kingdom under FOB Destination terms, meaning the vendor assumes full financial and operational responsibility for all costs and risks until the tire is physically delivered and accepted at the designated destination. This includes arranging and paying for all modes of transport, customs clearance, insurance, handling, and any delays or damages that may occur during transit, with liability remaining with the contractor until final receipt by the recipient at the UK base. The shipment is governed by international logistics standards and falls under NAICS code 484230, which categorizes it as truck transportation of freight, though the scope likely involves multimodal coordination to meet the international delivery requirement. The contract is classified as a subcontract under the Defense Logistics Agency, a component of the Department of Defense, and was posted on July 16, 2026, indicating it is part of a broader procurement effort to support military aviation operations. While specific pricing, quantities, and timelines are not detailed here, the FOB Destination clause implies strict performance expectations, with failure to deliver on time or in sound condition potentially constituting a breach. The absence of solicitation numbers or point of contact details suggests that this information may be contained in related documentation or internal DLA systems, but the core obligation remains clear: the subcontractor must guarantee secure, compliant, and timely delivery of the tire to RAF Mildenhall with no cost or risk transfer to the government prior to acceptance.
