International Freight & Logistics (FOB Origin to Australia)

The contract involves the coordination of international freight shipment from the manufacturer to the Joint Logistics Unit in Bandiana, Australia, under the protocols of the Australian Government Cargo Office. All logistics must be managed through DHL, ensuring end-to-end handling of export documentation, customs clearance in both origin and destination countries, and real-time tracking of cargo throughout the journey. The shipment is structured under FOB Origin terms, meaning the seller’s responsibility ends once the goods are delivered to the carrier at the point of origin, with all subsequent costs and risks transferring to the buyer once the cargo leaves the manufacturer’s facility. This is a subcontract classified under NAICS code 493190, designated as a Total Small Business Set-Aside, meaning only small business concerns are eligible to respond. The solicitation is issued by the ASC Commodities Division within the U.S. Department of Defense and requires responses to be submitted by July 31, 2026. Performance will take place internationally, with the primary destination being Bandiana, Australia, and all activities must comply with Australian governmental import regulations and U.S. export control requirements. The contractor must ensure seamless integration with government logistics systems and maintain full traceability of shipments from origin to final delivery.
