Logistics and Delivery Services

The contract requires secure, climate-controlled transportation and delivery of highly sensitive atomic clocks from the manufacturer to NIST facilities in Boulder, Colorado, and Gaithersburg, Maryland. All shipments must maintain strict environmental conditions to preserve the precision and functionality of the equipment, with full chain-of-custody protocols and real-time tracking implemented throughout the entire logistics process. The service is critical to ensuring the integrity of these precision instruments during transit, as any deviation in temperature, humidity, or physical handling could compromise their calibration and scientific value. This is a subcontract under NAICS code 484220, issued by the Department of Commerce through NIST, with a response deadline of July 31, 2026. The place of performance is specifically designated as Boulder, Colorado, though deliveries must also be made to the Gaithersburg facility. The solicitation was posted on July 22, 2026, and bidders must demonstrate expertise in handling high-value scientific payloads under controlled conditions, with proven capabilities in secure logistics, documentation, and compliance with federal standards for sensitive equipment transport.
