This subcontract is specifically structured to support defense logistics needs under the purview of the Department of Defense, with the Defense Logistics Agency as the overseeing organization, and is tied to the NAICS code 483111, which categorizes it within ocean freight transportation services. The transportation must comply with federal acquisition regulations governing domestic maritime transport for government property.
