Transportation and FOB Origin Logistics Services

The contract awards freight transport services from the manufacturer’s location to DLA Distribution in New Cumberland, Pennsylvania, under FOB origin terms, meaning the supplier assumes full cost and risk of transportation until the goods are loaded onto the carrier at the point of origin. Once the shipment is in transit, responsibility for delivery, damage, or loss transfers to the government’s logistics entity, ensuring clear delineation of liability and financial obligation at the point of loading. The work is classified under NAICS code 484220, indicating specialized freight trucking services, and is structured as a subcontract under the Defense Logistics Agency, a component of the Department of Defense, to support critical supply chain operations. The contract was posted on July 21, 2026, and is available through the DIBBS system under contract number SPE7M326V3527, with no specific set-aside designation or geographic restrictions indicated for performance. While details on pricing, volume, or timeline are not provided, the scope centers on reliable and timely movement of goods under FOB origin conditions, requiring carriers to manage pickup coordination, documentation compliance, and secure transit protocols from the manufacturer’s facility. The agency retains ownership and control once the freight is loaded, emphasizing efficiency and accountability in the initial leg of the defense supply chain.
