International Shipping and Delivery of Air Tow Trailers to Japan

The contract requires end-to-end international logistics for the transport of two air tow trailers from the supplier’s location to Misawa Air Base in Japan, with full responsibility for export documentation, customs clearance, and final delivery. All activities must align with military requirements, including coordination with the designated U.S. Department of Defense point of contact at the installation to ensure compliance with service-specific protocols and timelines. The shipment is classified under NAICS code 488510, indicating specialized freight transportation services, and is structured as a subcontract under the Department of Defense’s jurisdiction. The place of performance is clearly identified as Misawa, Japan with a zip code of 96319, and all logistics must be executed in a manner that meets U.S. military standards for equipment handling and delivery. The solicitation was posted on June 21, 2026, with a response deadline of July 4, 2026, at 01:00 UTC, indicating a tight window for proposals and likely high urgency for vendor selection. While no specific set-aside designation is provided, the contract is intended for a subcontractor to fulfill logistics functions, suggesting potential involvement of third-party carriers or freight forwarders with proven international military experience. The absence of a point of contact in the data implies that proposers must engage directly through official DoD channels or the main contracting office to obtain further details. Successful bidders will be expected to manage all risks associated with cross-border transport, including regulatory compliance, insurance, scheduling, and coordination with foreign and U.S. authorities, ensuring the trailers arrive intact and on time for military operational use.
