Manufacture of Preconditioned Temperature-Controlled Shipping Containers

The contract requires the fabrication and assembly of passive, temperature-controlled shipping containers designed to maintain a strict 2°C to 8°C temperature range for a minimum of 92 hours under all environmental conditions. These containers must comply with ISTA-3A and ISTA-7D standards to ensure reliable and safe transport of vaccines within the Strategic National Stockpile. The units must be preconditioned and engineered to perform without active refrigeration, relying solely on passive insulation and thermal storage technology to sustain the required temperature window throughout extended transit and variable external conditions. This is a subcontract opportunity issued by the Department of Health and Human Services through ASPR/ORM-SNS, with a single response deadline of June 8, 2026 at 5:00 PM. The NAICS code 332999 indicates classification under Other Miscellaneous Fabricated Metal Product Manufacturing, pointing to specialized manufacturing capabilities required. The place of performance and point of contact details are unspecified in the posted data, and no set-aside provisions have been designated. All proposals must demonstrate proven ability to meet the rigorous thermal performance and testing benchmarks mandated for critical medical supply chain applications.
