International Logistics and FOB Origin Shipment

The contract encompasses the full scope of packaging, export documentation, and freight management required to ship goods from a U.S. origin location to a U.S. Army installation in Germany under FOB Origin terms, meaning the buyer assumes all responsibility and costs once the goods leave the seller’s facility. All logistics functions, including secure packaging compliant with international standards, preparation of required export paperwork, and coordination of international freight, are included under the supplier’s obligations, ensuring seamless transit across borders with no additional charges assumed by the U.S. government beyond the delivered product at origin. The contract is classified as a subcontract under NAICS code 488510, which covers freight forwarding and related logistics services, and is managed by the Defense Logistics Agency under the Department of Defense. The solicitation was posted in July 2026, indicating it is a future procurement opportunity, and is specifically linked to contract SPE7LX26FB108, with the performance being directed toward a U.S. military site in Germany. The buyer is responsible for all transport costs and risks once the goods depart the U.S. origin point, placing the burden of international compliance, customs clearance, and transit logistics squarely on the contractor’s shoulders.
