MIL-STD-Compliant Packaging, Preservation & Marking

The contract requires full compliance with MIL-STD-2073-1E and MIL-STD-129 for the packaging, preservation, and marking of aerospace labels, ensuring adherence to Department of Defense standards for military-grade material handling. It incorporates DLA-specific packaging codes and also aligns with FAA commercial material standards, blending military and aviation regulatory requirements to meet dual-use operational needs. All packaging must be properly labeled, preserved to prevent degradation during transit and storage, and marked with precise identification codes to support inventory management and traceability across the defense supply chain. The work is to be performed at the designated place of performance in New Cumberland, Pennsylvania, with a zip code of 17070-5002. The solicitation was posted on August 7, 2026, and responses are due by August 14, 2026, indicating a tight turnaround for qualified subcontractors. The NAICS code 561910 classifies this as other support activities for transportation, suggesting the work involves logistics and packaging services rather than manufacturing. This is a subcontract opportunity under the Department of Defense, managed through the Construction & Equipment T & IFO EQ office, and participation requires strict technical compliance with federal military standards and the ability to meet exacting documentation and marking criteria.
