International Transportation & Customs Clearance (FOB Destination)

The contract requires full logistics management for the shipment of goods to the U.S. Embassy in London, encompassing all aspects of international transportation, customs clearance, payment of duties and taxes, and final-mile delivery under FOB destination terms, meaning the vendor assumes all costs and risks until the goods are delivered at the embassy’s location. The work is classified under NAICS code 488510, indicating it falls under freight forwarding and related logistics services, and is structured as a subcontract with no specific set-aside designation. All responsibilities, including compliance with U.S. and U.K. regulatory requirements, must be managed by the contractor without external assistance, ensuring timely and secure delivery to the designated embassy site. The solicitation was posted on April 29, 2026, with a response deadline of May 18, 2026, at 4:00 PM. The contracting authority is the U.S. Department of State through the U.S. Embassy in London, and while no specific point of contact or physical address details are listed, performance is strictly tied to delivery at the embassy’s location in the United Kingdom. The contract is accessible via the SAM.gov portal, and interested parties must submit proposals by the stated deadline to be considered for award. The absence of a solicitation number or set-aside classification suggests the award may be based on competitive evaluation of technical and pricing proposals under standard subcontracting protocols.
