Military-Grade Packaging and Preservation Services

The contract requires comprehensive packaging, preservation, and containerization of radar components in strict compliance with MIL-STD-2073-1E standards to ensure readiness for long-term storage and secure transportation. All work must meet military-grade specifications for environmental protection, moisture control, corrosion inhibition, and durable containment to preserve the integrity and functionality of sensitive radar systems over extended periods. The requirement is classified as a subcontract under a Total Small Business Set-Aside, meaning only small businesses certified by the SBA are eligible to bid, reinforcing the government’s commitment to supporting small business participation in defense contracting. The NAICS code 326199 identifies the work as falling under Other Plastics Product Manufacturing, though the actual services are specialized defense logistics rather than manufacturing. Performance of the contract is localized to Tracy, California, with a zip code of 95304-5000, and the award will be managed under the ASC SUPPLIER OPER AE AND AF DIV within the Department of Defense. The solicitation was posted on August 3, 2026, with a firm response deadline of August 11, 2026, indicating a narrow window for submission and requiring prompt mobilization of qualified small businesses. Bidders must demonstrate proven experience in military packaging standards, access to approved materials and processes, and the ability to document and certify compliance through rigorous quality assurance protocols. Failure to meet any aspect of MIL-STD-2073-1E could result in non-compliance and rejection of delivered items, making adherence to technical specifications paramount.
