Bar-Coding and Military Item Marking Compliance

This contract requires strict compliance with MIL-STD-129 standards for marking military items across all packaging levels, including unit containers, intermediate packaging, and pallets, with mandatory barcoding to ensure accurate identification and inventory tracking throughout the supply chain. The work is scoped to support the ASC Commodities Division of the Department of Defense, with performance centered at Tinker Air Force Base, Oklahoma, in a location specifically designated for logistics and materiel handling operations. The solicitation type is a subcontract, indicating the awardee will operate under a primary contractor’s umbrella to fulfill defense logistics requirements, and the NAICS code 541330 classifies the service under engineering services, reflecting the technical precision needed for labeling and data system integration. All bids must be submitted by July 29, 2026, with solicitation posted on July 21, 2026, leaving a limited eight-day window for interested parties to prepare and respond. The absence of set-aside designations suggests open competition among qualifying subcontractors, and the lack of specified point of contact implies that all necessary details can be accessed through the designated DIBBS platform link. Full adherence to MIL-STD-129 requirements is non-negotiable, encompassing not only the physical application of barcodes and markings but also the accuracy, durability, and data compatibility of all encoded information to meet DoD’s operational readiness and logistics tracking standards.
