ESD/EMI Protective Packaging Supply

The contract seeks the supply of ESD and EMI protective packaging materials certified to MIL-PRF-81705, specifically Type I barrier bags designed for the protection of sensitive RF components. These materials must meet stringent military performance standards to ensure electromagnetic interference shielding and static discharge prevention during handling, storage, and transit. The requirement is issued as a subcontract under the NAICS code 326199 and is managed by the Active Devices Division within the Department of Defense, with performance obligated at Hill AFB, Utah, ZIP code 84056-5734. The solicitation was posted on July 21, 2026, and responses are due by July 24, 2026, indicating a tight turnaround for vendors to submit proposals that comply with the technical and certification requirements. This procurement is critical for safeguarding high-value electronic components used in defense systems, where even minimal electrostatic or electromagnetic exposure can lead to operational failure. Vendors must provide documented evidence of MIL-PRF-81705 compliance for all submitted packaging, ensuring consistency with established military specifications. The absence of set-aside provisions suggests the opportunity is open to all qualified suppliers regardless of size or status, while the specific performance location implies a direct logistical connection to defense operations at Hill Air Force Base. Compliance with packaging specifications is non-negotiable, and failure to meet certification standards will result in disqualification.
