Military-Compliant Packaging and Preservation

The contract requires the packaging of electrical connectors in strict compliance with MIL-STD-2073-1E, specifically employing Method 31 for clean and dry preservation to ensure protection against environmental contamination. All units must be sealed within moisture barrier bags alongside desiccant and undergo vacuum sealing to maintain integrity during storage and transit. The work must be performed to safeguard the functionality and readiness of the connectors under adverse conditions, with adherence to military standards being non-negotiable. Performance is designated for New Cumberland, Pennsylvania, with the full scope falling under the NAICS code 561910 for other auxiliary services for transportation. This subcontract is issued by the Department of Defense’s Active Devices Division and is open for responses until July 30, 2026, with the solicitation posted on July 19, 2026. There is no set-aside designation specified, and the nature of the award does not indicate any preference for small businesses or other categories. The deliverable is focused entirely on the proper preservation and packaging methodology rather than manufacturing the connectors themselves. Contractors must demonstrate proven capability in military-grade packaging procedures and maintain documentation to verify compliance with all technical and procedural requirements outlined in the standard.
