Transportation and Delivery of Bridge Decking to Remote Site

The contract requires the transportation and delivery of 14 glulam bridge decking units from the manufacturer to a specified delivery point at 61 Scoyen Circle in West Glacier, Montana, with a firm delivery deadline of September 18, 2026. Transportation is governed by FOB Destination terms, meaning the responsibility and risk for the cargo remain with the transporter until the units are physically received at the final destination, at which point ownership and liability transfer to the recipient. The shipment must be executed without delay to ensure timely deployment at the remote site, and the contractor must account for all logistical challenges associated with delivering oversized freight to a geographically isolated location. This is a small business set-aside subcontract under NAICS code 484220, specifically categorized as a Total Small Business Set-Aside, meaning only eligible small businesses may submit bids. The solicitation was posted on July 7, 2026, with responses due by July 22, 2026, and is issued under the Department of the Interior through its Imr Northern ROCKIES office. While the contract does not specify additional performance requirements such as packaging, handling, or insurance, compliance with FOB Destination obligations inherently demands secure, damage-free transit, proper documentation, and timely communication throughout the delivery process to meet the statutory deadline.
