Logistics and Transportation of Coolant

The contract requires the traceable transportation of coolant from the supplier to Norfolk Naval Shipyard in Virginia using the fastest available traceable shipping methods such as FedEx, UPS, or a licensed freight carrier.

The logistics are governed under a subcontract with the Defense Logistics Agency, a component of the Department of Defense, and is categorized under NAICS code 484220, which corresponds to specialized freight trucking. The posting date of the solicitation indicates it is slated for future performance beginning in 2026, and while specific details like the office address and point of contact are not provided, the place of performance is clearly identified as Norfolk Naval Shipyard. The contract emphasizes reliability, accountability, and timeliness in delivery to support critical naval operations, with traceability being a mandatory requirement for every phase of transport.
