Heavy-Duty Packaging and Crating for Sea Transport

The contract requires the design and fabrication of ISPM 15-compliant wooden crates and skids to securely transport heavy fairlead assemblies via sea to a naval vessel in San Diego. All packaging must meet international phytosanitary standards to ensure compliance during ocean transit, with structural integrity optimized for the weight and dimensions of the heavy cargo. The crates and skids must be built to withstand harsh marine environments, including saltwater exposure, vibration, and extreme load stresses during loading, transit, and unloading operations. This is a subcontract opportunity issued by the Military Sealift Command under the Department of Defense, with a NAICS code of 321920 indicating wood product manufacturing. Responses are due by May 14, 2026, and the work must be performed with strict attention to logistics readiness and military transportation protocols. The packaging solutions must be certified, durable, and capable of ensuring the safe delivery of sensitive naval components without damage or regulatory delays, with full accountability for compliance and performance throughout the supply chain.
