Health Comfort Pack

The contract involves the procurement of Health and Comfort Packs (HCP) designed to support forward area troops by providing essential non-food items necessary for their health and comfort when access to exchange systems or local stores is unavailable. The HCPs come in three types—Type I, Type II, and Type III—each tailored for specific uses and populations. Type I packs, weighing 58 lbs and measuring 3.3 cubic feet, are intended for 10 individuals, both males and females, for a 30-day period. Type II, lighter at 18 lbs and 1.9 cubic feet, is specifically designed to supply 10 females for the same duration. Type III consists of smaller personal hygiene wipes, suitable for use by 10 persons regardless of gender. The contract details indicate that procurement reflects the contents of the most recent contract but may be adjusted in future acquisitions based on field surveys, with changes typically relating to item size or the inclusion of popular new items, while the core list remains stable. This solicitation is a total small business set-aside under NAICS code 325620, with performance located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The contract specialist overseeing this procurement is Jayson R. Marbach. The goal of these packs is to ensure troops have reliable access to basic health and hygiene supplies in environments where standard retail options are not accessible.
