Defense-Compliant Labeling and Barcoding

This contract requires the application of MIL-STD-129 compliant labeling for items distributed through the Defense Logistics Agency, with strict adherence to specifications including the inclusion of National Stock Numbers, shelf-life data marked with Special Marking Code 32, and 2D Data Matrix barcodes to ensure accurate tracking and inventory management. The labeling must meet all federal standards for durability, readability, and format to support seamless integration into DLA’s logistics chain. Performance of the work is designated to occur in Jacksonville, Florida, with a zip code of 32212-0103, and the contract is classified as a subcontract under NAICS code 561910 for other support activities for transportation. The solicitation was posted on July 30, 2026, with a response deadline of August 10, 2026, indicating a narrow window for proposals from qualified vendors. The contracting activity falls under the Department of Defense’s Land Supplier Operations Vehicle Support division, which manages the procurement of critical logistics services for ground systems and vehicle support. Compliance with labeling standards is non-negotiable, as errors or omissions can disrupt global military supply operations, delay deployments, or lead to non-compliance penalties. All label data elements must be correctly encoded, verified, and permanently affixed to ensure authenticity and traceability throughout the distribution lifecycle.
