Packaging and Labeling Services for Defense Contracts

The contract requires defense-compliant packaging, preservation, labeling, and IUID marking for mechanical components shipped FOB Origin, ensuring full adherence to military standards for readiness and traceability. All services must meet stringent Department of Defense requirements, with specific attention to durability, environmental protection, and accurate identification marking for logistics and inventory management throughout the supply chain. The work is classified as a subcontract under a Total Small Business Set-Aside, meaning only small business concerns certified by the SBA may respond, promoting small business participation in defense logistics. The NAICS code 561910 indicates the scope falls under Other Support Activities for Transportation, aligning with specialized packaging and handling services critical to defense supply chains. Performance is expected to be completed in accordance with federal acquisition regulations, though the place of performance is unspecified, allowing flexibility in execution as long as components are shipped FOB Origin. The solicitation was posted on July 21, 2026, with responses due by August 5, 2026, and is managed under the Strategic Acquisition Program Directorate within the Department of Defense. Contractors must ensure end-to-end compliance with all applicable military specifications for preservation and labeling, including IUID compliance as mandated for all qualifying defense items. Participation requires familiarity with Defense Logistics Agency systems and the ability to deliver documentation and marked components in a timely, auditable manner.
