Bare Item Identification and Marking

The contract requires the direct part marking of shear bolts in compliance with MIL-STD-130N standards, ensuring permanent data matrix codes are physically marked on bare metal components without coatings or finishes. This marking must be durable and legible for the full lifecycle of the part, supporting tracking, inventory management, and logistics across military supply chains. The work is to be performed at Tinker Air Force Base with a zip code of 73145-8000, and the effort falls under NAICS code 339999 for other miscellaneous manufacturing. This subcontract opportunity is open for response until August 13, 2026, with the solicitation posted on August 5, 2026, under the ASC Commodities Division of the Department of Defense. The requirement is part of a broader effort to maintain standardized identification of critical hardware within defense systems, and all markings must meet the stringent durability, permanence, and readability mandates of MIL-STD-130N. Contractors must possess the capability to accurately apply data matrix codes to shear bolts in a way that survives harsh environmental conditions and mechanical stress without degradation.
