International Logistics and FOB Destination Delivery

The contract entails the end-to-end international logistics of transporting IT workstations to the INL Warehouse in Bogotá under FOB Destination terms, meaning the seller retains all risk and responsibility until the goods are physically delivered and accepted at the final destination. This includes coordinating ocean or air freight, handling all customs clearance procedures in both origin and destination countries, and executing the final-mile delivery to the specified warehouse without interruption or delay. All logistics operations must comply with international trade regulations and ensure the safe, secure, and timely arrival of sensitive equipment, with no transfer of risk or liability until delivery confirmation is received. The solicitation is classified as a subcontract under NAICS code 483111, reflecting its focus on deep-sea, coastal, and Great Lakes water transportation services adapted for international freight movement. It is managed by the U.S. Department of State through the American Embassy in Bogotá, with a response deadline of August 5, 2026. The scope requires full accountability for documentation, compliance, and tracking throughout the supply chain, emphasizing reliability and adherence to diplomatic protocols for government-bound hardware. Performance is strictly tied to the successful completion of delivery at the Bogotá warehouse under FOB Destination conditions, with no partial or interim acceptance permitted.
