Manufacturing of Instant Heat Treatment Pads

The contract calls for the manufacturing of single-use heat treatment pads designed to activate and reach a consistent temperature of 112°F (44°C) when exposed to a 75°F ambient environment, ensuring reliable therapeutic performance in field conditions. The pads must maintain a minimum shelf life of 24 months under proper storage conditions, requiring precise chemical formulation and sealed packaging to prevent premature activation or degradation. Production must adhere strictly to Department of Defense standards, encompassing every phase from raw material sourcing and chemical blending to assembly, quality control, and final packaging, with all processes documented to meet DLA requirements for traceability and compliance. The subcontract is issued under the NAICS code 339113, targeting specialized medical device manufacturing, and is tied to the Medical Supply Chain FSH under the Department of Defense. Performance of the work is designated to occur at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, with a response deadline of August 4, 2026, and the solicitation was posted on July 28, 2026. The contract emphasizes rigorous quality assurance protocols to ensure each unit meets thermal output specifications and safety standards, with no room for variance in activation temperature, duration, or longevity. All deliverables must be fully compatible with military medical logistics systems and prepared for rapid deployment in operational environments.
