Supply Chain & Logistics for Defense Deliveries (FOB Origin, Destination Inspection)

The contract requires domestic shipment of defense-related materials to DLA Distribution Anniston, AL, with strictly enforced MIL-STD-129 compliance for all packaging and labeling to ensure standardized military logistics handling. Despite the delivery destination being Anniston, Alabama, the terms are FOB Origin, placing full responsibility for transportation, risk, and costs on the supplier until the goods leave the origin point, even though inspection will occur upon arrival at the destination. This creates a unique operational dynamic where the supplier must meet exacting packaging standards while assuming transit risk without the benefit of destination inspection serving as a compliance checkpoint prior to payment or acceptance. The NAICS code 484220 identifies the scope as truck transportation for specialized freight, aligning with the logistics nature of this subcontract. The solicitation was posted July 30, 2026, with responses due by August 10, 2026, under the Department of Defense’s Electrical Devices Division, indicating this is part of a broader sustainment or supply effort for military equipment components.
