Packaging, Labeling, and Kitting

The contract encompasses the government-compliant packaging, labeling, kitting, and palletization of combat knives to ensure safe and secure shipment under FOB destination terms, meaning the supplier is responsible for all costs and risks until the goods reach the designated destination. All activities must adhere to strict military and federal standards for handling, documentation, and physical preparation of tactical equipment, with particular attention to durability, tamper resistance, and traceability throughout the supply chain. The work is performed as a subcontract under the Defense Logistics Agency, part of the Department of Defense, and falls under the NAICS code 493190 for other warehouse and storage services, indicating the focus is on logistics and preparation rather than manufacturing. The solicitation was posted on July 16, 2026, and is linked to a specific delivery order under contract SPE7LX26F71N3, which references the original procurement SPE7LX18D0098. While no specific location is provided for performance or agency office details, the nature of the work suggests operations will occur at facilities authorized to handle classified or sensitive defense materiel. The absence of set-aside information implies this contract is open to general competition, and compliance with all applicable Department of Defense and federal regulations regarding defense supply chain security is mandatory. Any failure to meet packaging or labeling specifications could result in rejection of shipment and contractual penalties.
