The product service code associated with this procurement is 1670, covering parachutes, aerial pick-up, delivery, recovery systems, and cargo tie-down equipment. Prospective vendors are required to be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) and to have NAICS 314994 listed in their registration prior to award.
