Heavy-Duty Wooden Crating (ASTM-D6880 Class 2)

The contract requires the fabrication of heavy-duty wooden crates meeting ASTM-D6880 Class 2 specifications, constructed using ISPM 15-compliant lumber to ensure safe shipment and secure storage of sensitive cargo.

The opportunity is issued by the Department of Homeland Security’s Sflc Procurement Branch 2, with performance required at Curtis Bay, Maryland, in the 21226 ZIP code. Bidders must submit proposals by the deadline of July 23, 2026, at 5:00 PM, and the contract is structured as a subcontract under the broader federal procurement framework. All work must align with federal quality and compliance standards without exceptions.
