ISPM 15 Wood Certification and Treatment

The contract requires the provision of ISPM 15-compliant heat treatment, stamping, and certification for all wooden components used in export packaging, ensuring full adherence to international phytosanitary standards designed to prevent the spread of pests and diseases across borders. All wooden materials must undergo approved thermal processing to eliminate invasive organisms, be visibly marked with the official ISPM 15 stamp, and be accompanied by valid certification documentation verifying compliance. This service is critical to support global shipping requirements and must be performed with precision and consistency to avoid delays or rejection of shipments at international ports. The solicitation is classified as a subcontract under a Total Small Business Set-Aside, reserved exclusively for small businesses as defined by the SBA, with the NAICS code 454310 indicating operations in the wood packaging and treatment sector. The work is to be performed at Picatinny Arsenal, with a response deadline of July 17, 2026, at 2:00 PM. Although the requesting agency is identified as the NSWC Indian Head Division under the Department of Defense, the physical performance location is tied to Picatinny Arsenal, reflecting a coordinated Defense Logistics effort. Participation is contingent upon strict compliance with ISPM 15 protocols and the ability to deliver certified, stamped, and documented wooden components on schedule to meet military and export readiness requirements.
