Logistics and Freight Transportation (FOB Origin)

The contract involves the transportation of Halal Meal, Ready-to-Eat (MRE) units under FOB Origin terms, meaning responsibility for the goods transfers to the buyer once they leave the manufacturer’s facility. The freight services must adhere strictly to military delivery standards and ensure traceable logistics from the point of origin to the final destination at Camp Ripley, Minnesota. This subcontract is managed under the Defense Logistics Agency within the Department of Defense, with NAICS code 484220 specifically designating it as a contract for truck transportation of freight. The goods must be delivered in full compliance with military requirements for food safety, security, and documentation, and the contractor is expected to maintain end-to-end visibility of shipments throughout the transit process. Timing, condition, and tracking of the MREs are critical to meet operational needs at the installation.
