The place of performance is the contractor's facility, with shipping destined for the DLA Distribution New Cumberland facility in Pennsylvania. This procurement is subject to stringent regulatory and security requirements.

Additionally, contractors must adhere to CMMC Level 2 cybersecurity standards and specific packaging and marking requirements per MIL-STD-129 and MIL-STD-2073-1E.
