Ocean Transportation of Supplies via U.S.-Flag Vessel

The contract requires the ocean transportation of an ammeter aboard U.S.-flagged vessels in strict adherence to DFARS 252.247-7023, which mandates the use of American-flagged ships for such shipments unless a formal waiver is obtained. This obligation is non-negotiable and applies to all aspects of the transport process, ensuring compliance with federal regulations governing military supply chain logistics. The shipment is designated as a subcontract under the NAICS code 483111, indicating it falls under the category of ocean transportation of freight. The place of performance is identified as FPO with a zip code of 09554, suggesting delivery to a military post office location, likely overseas. The solicitation was posted on July 12, 2026, with responses due by July 23, 2026, leaving a narrow window for interested parties to submit proposals. The contracting agency is the Department of Defense under the Maritime Supply Chain office, emphasizing the military and strategic nature of the cargo. While no set-aside designation is specified, the requirement for U.S.-flagged vessels inherently limits eligible contractors to those operating under U.S. registry and subject to relevant maritime laws. The contract is accessible via the DIBBS portal, and all proposers must ensure full compliance with the regulatory framework governing defense freight transport.
