Packaging, Preservation, and Marking Compliance

The contract requires full compliance with U.S. military packaging, preservation, and marking standards, specifically adhering to MIL-STD-2073-1E for packaging procedures, MIL-STD-129R(3) for marking and labeling of military shipments, and UID marking through 2D Data Matrix barcodes to ensure unique identification of items throughout the supply chain. All work must meet stringent defense logistics requirements to support proper handling, storage, and tracking of equipment and components under Department of Defense protocols. The performance location is designated as APO 96694, indicating delivery to a U.S. military postal facility overseas, and the contract type is classified as a subcontract, meaning the successful vendor will operate under a prime contractor’s direction rather than directly with the government agency. The solicitation is issued by the FLUID HANDLING DIVISION under the Department of Defense, with a NAICS code of 561910 indicating it pertains to other support activities for agriculture and allied industries, though the context suggests specialized defense logistics support. The posting date is July 16, 2026, with responses due by July 27, 2026, providing a 11-day window for proposal submission. Although no point of contact or set-aside information is provided, bidders must ensure complete technical alignment with all referenced military standards and the use of approved 2D Data Matrix labeling to be eligible for award. The contract details are accessible via the DIBBS platform under solicitation number SPE7M426T265X.
