The contract titled Packaging Compliance Inspection and Quality Assurance requires the performance of pre-shipment inspections to ensure adherence to MIL-STD-2073-1E standards, focusing on critical packaging elements such as visual verification of contamination, proper application of preservatives, adequacy of cushioning, accuracy of QUP data, and legibility of markings. This work is essential to guarantee that military-grade items are protected, properly labeled, and compliant with federal packaging regulations prior to dispatch. The solicitation is designated as a Total Small Business Set-Aside under SBA guidelines, with NAICS code 541690, indicating it is reserved exclusively for small businesses performing other professional, scientific, and technical services. Performance is required at a location in Anchorage, Alaska with a zip code of 99502, and responses must be submitted by July 16, 2026, at 3:00 PM. The contract is classified as a subcontract, with the awarding organization being the C5I Division 2 Kearneysville under the Department of Homeland Security. While specific point of contact information is not provided, the opportunity is publicly accessible through a SAM.gov link, ensuring transparency for eligible small business respondents. There are no restrictions or details regarding the number of awards, but the set-aside designation ensures only small businesses can compete.
