Packaging, Crating, and International Shipping Support

The contract requires full packaging, crating, and international freight coordination services to safely transport galley dressers from the manufacturer to a U.S. Navy base in Japan, with all materials and methods strictly compliant with ISPM-15 international phytosanitary standards. The work includes securing the cargo for long-distance ocean transport, ensuring structural integrity during handling and transit, and managing all logistics between origin and final delivery point, including customs documentation, import clearance, and coordination with carriers and port authorities. All packaging materials must be treated and marked per ISPM-15 requirements to prevent pest spread, and the contractor must demonstrate proven experience with military logistics and overseas shipments to defense facilities. This is a small business set-aside subcontract under NAICS code 484220 for freight and logistics services, awarded by the Naval Supply Systems Command Fleet Logistics Center Puget Sound on behalf of the Department of Defense. Proposals must be submitted by the deadline of August 4, 2026, and responders are expected to have the capacity to meet stringent military shipping protocols, provide traceability for all packaged items, and ensure on-time delivery without damage or delay. The contract emphasizes reliability, regulatory compliance, and seamless integration into the Navy’s supply chain, with no flexibility on compliance with international shipping standards or delivery timelines.
