Packaging and FOB-Origin Shipping Services

The contract requires comprehensive packaging, labeling, and documentation services for 500 units to be shipped from West Des Moines, Iowa to DLA Distribution San Joaquin in California under FOB-origin terms, meaning title and risk of loss transfer to the buyer at the point of origin. The work includes full coordination of the shipment to ensure timely, compliant delivery in accordance with Department of Defense requirements. The service falls under NAICS code 484220 for general freight trucking, indicating the primary logistics function involves ground transportation, though packaging and documentation are integral components. This is a subcontract issued by the Defense Logistics Agency under the Department of Defense, with the solicitation linked to active contracting records in the DIBBS system. All responsibilities rest with the vendor to prepare goods for transit, meet labeling standards, and manage coordination from origin to destination without additional transportation cost obligations to the buyer.
