Transportation and Delivery of Heavy Metal Materials

The contract requires the transportation and delivery of heavy metal bars, including stainless steel and bronze, from supplier or fabrication locations to the USACE NWP facility in Portland, Oregon, with terms under FOB Origin, meaning the contractor assumes full responsibility for all transportation risks once the goods leave the point of origin. The work falls under NAICS code 484220, which classifies it as a specialized freight arrangement involving the movement of heavy and potentially hazardous materials, demanding compliance with safety, handling, and scheduling protocols for oversized or high-value cargo. The contract is structured as a subcontract, and while no set-aside designation is specified, performance is strictly bound to the designated delivery destination with a zip code of 97210. The solicitation was posted on June 24, 2026, with a firm deadline for responses set for July 10, 2026, at 3:00 PM, leaving a limited window for qualified carriers or logistics providers to submit proposals. The responsible agency is the Department of Defense, specifically under the W071 Endist Portland office, indicating this delivery supports federal infrastructure or defense-related projects. The contract does not include a specified point of contact or detailed vendor requirements beyond the transportation scope, placing emphasis on the bidder’s ability to demonstrate reliable capacity, appropriate equipment for heavy loads, and proven experience with high-value metal shipments and timely delivery to federal installations.
