Packaging, Marking, and FOB Origin Logistics

The contract requires full compliance with MIL-STD-129 standards for the packaging, marking, and barcoding of valves at the point of origin, ensuring all items are properly labeled and documented for government-arranged transportation under FOB Origin terms. This means the contractor is responsible for preparing and staging the valves in accordance with strict military packaging guidelines, including barcoding that enables traceability and automated handling throughout the logistics chain, but ownership and risk transfer to the government once the goods are ready for pickup at the origin location. All work must be completed at the contractor’s facility prior to government-contracted transport, with no obligation on the contractor to arrange or pay for shipping. The contract falls under NAICS code 561910 for other support activities for transportation, and is managed by the Defense Logistics Agency under the Department of Defense. The performance location and point of contact are unspecified, indicating the contractor’s own facilities serve as the sole place of performance, and the government assumes responsibility for all logistics following successful staging and compliance verification.
