International Logistics & FOB Destination Shipping

The contract encompasses the end-to-end international logistics of shipping bolt assemblies from the manufacturer to the U.S. Naval Base Sasebo in Japan under FOB Destination terms, meaning the seller assumes all risks and costs until the goods are delivered to the designated destination. Full compliance with Defense Logistics Agency specifications is mandatory, including precise marking and labeling requirements, real-time tracking throughout the supply chain, and strict adherence to delivery protocols to ensure timely and documented receipt. The shipment must align with DLA’s operational standards for traceability and accountability, with no flexibility in documentation or procedural compliance. This subcontract falls under NAICS code 488510, which classifies it within the air and water freight transportation services sector, indicating a focus on international freight coordination rather than manufacturing or procurement. The agency responsible is the Defense Logistics Agency under the Department of Defense, emphasizing the mission-critical nature of the delivery to a U.S. military installation. The contract is publicly accessible via the DIBBS system, though no solicitation number or point of contact is listed, implying the subcontractor was selected through an existing prime contract or internal DLA framework. Timing and accuracy are paramount, as delays or noncompliance could disrupt naval operations and result in contractual penalties.
