Logistics and Transportation to Naval Vessel

The contract specifies the transportation of a tire shipment from the supplier to the USNS LEWIS AND CLARK located in Jacksonville, Florida, under FOB destination terms, meaning the contractor assumes full financial and risk responsibility for the shipment until it is delivered to the designated vessel. This arrangement places the burden of all costs, including transit, insurance, handling, and potential delays, squarely on the transporter, with ownership and liability transferring only upon successful delivery at the destination. The contract is categorized as a subcontract under NAICS code 484220, which corresponds to truck transportation of freight, indicating a specialized ground logistics operation is required to meet the delivery specifications. Issued by the Defense Logistics Agency under the Department of Defense, the contract is tied to a naval vessel resupply effort and does not involve a solicitation number, suggesting it may be awarded through direct negotiation or as part of an existing framework. The posted date of August 5, 2026, indicates this is a future-dated agreement, likely planned for execution in the coming years. The delivery location is clearly identified, and while specific pickup points or shipment volumes are not detailed, the obligation remains to ensure timely, secure, and complete delivery under FOB destination conditions without shifting responsibility back to the supplier or government until the tires are received on board the vessel.
