Ocean Transport via U.S.-Flag Vessel

The contract requires the arrangement of ocean transportation for packaged pins using U.S.-flagged vessels in strict adherence to DFARS 252.247-7023 and all Department of Defense logistics regulations. This subcontract is part of a larger DoD supply chain effort, specifically managed by the ASC Commodities Division, and mandates compliance with federal acquisition rules that prioritize U.S.-owned and operated maritime transport. The goods must be shipped to the designated place of performance in New Cumberland, Pennsylvania, with the ZIP code 17070-5002, ensuring full traceability and regulatory alignment throughout the transport process. The solicitation is open for responses until July 24, 2026, with the request publicly posted on July 16, 2026. The North American Industry Classification System code 483110 identifies the work as ocean transport of cargo, reinforcing the specialized nature of the service required. Bidders must demonstrate capacity to meet DoD standards for security, documentation, and vessel eligibility, as only U.S.-flagged ships are permitted under this requirement. There is no set-aside designation, meaning the contract is open to all qualified vendors regardless of business size or status, but participants must be prepared to provide full compliance verification and logistics support as defined by the Department of Defense.
