Packaging must be designed to protect tires during storage and transport while meeting military-grade containment and environmental resistance requirements. At the pallet level, labeling must comply fully with MIL-STD-129 specifications, including barcode format, data content, placement, and durability, with no individual tire labeling permitted; all identification and tracking information must be consolidated and applied only to pallets or shipping containers. This subcontract, awarded under the Department of Defense's Defense Logistics Agency, falls under NAICS code 561910 and is intended to support defense supply chain operations through standardized packaging and labeling practices. The contract is active as of August 5, 2026, and applies to shipments delivered to unspecified locations within the Department of Defense’s global logistics network. Compliance is mandatory and non-negotiable, with failures in packaging or labeling potentially resulting in rejection of shipments, financial penalties, or termination of contractual obligations. The work is performed under the contract reference SPE7LX26F88P6 and is governed by federal acquisition and defense logistics regulations without set-aside status.
