Specialized Freight Transportation (Hazardous Materials)

The contract requires the specialized transportation of electrical solenoids classified as hazardous materials from the manufacturer’s location to a contiguous U.S. destination under FOB origin terms, meaning the buyer assumes all responsibility and risk once the goods are loaded at the point of origin. Compliance with all applicable hazardous materials shipping regulations is mandatory, including proper labeling, documentation, packaging, and adherence to Department of Transportation and federal hazardous materials transportation laws. The transport must be executed by a qualified carrier with the necessary certifications and experience in handling hazardous freight to ensure safety and regulatory compliance throughout transit. This subcontract is issued under NAICS code 484220 for Specialized Freight (except Used Goods) Trucking, and is administered by the Department of Defense’s Maritime Supply Chain office. The solicitation was posted on August 4, 2026, with responses due by August 19, 2026, and potential vendors must align with DOD supply chain protocols and delivery expectations. Performance location is any contiguous U.S. destination, with no specific city or state designated, allowing flexibility in final delivery points as long as they remain within the contiguous Forty-eight states. The FOB origin structure places burden on the contractor to ensure timely and secure pickup and initial transit stages, with full liability transferring upon loading.
