Packaging, Preservation, and Marking Services

The contract requires comprehensive packaging, preservation, and marking services for bolts in strict accordance with military standards, specifically MIL-STD-129, to ensure integrity during transport and long-term storage. All work must adhere to FOB Origin shipping requirements, meaning the responsibility for delivery and condition of the goods transfers to the buyer at the point of origin, placing full accountability on the contractor for proper handling and documentation. The services must guarantee that every item is correctly preserved against corrosion and environmental damage, securely packaged to prevent physical damage, and accurately marked with standardized military identifiers for easy tracking and inventory management throughout the supply chain. This is a total small business set-aside subcontract under the SBA program, exclusively available to small businesses as defined by the Small Business Administration, with the NAICS code 493190 indicating warehousing and storage services. The opportunity was posted by the Strategic Acquisition Program Directorate within the Department of Defense, with responses due by August 18, 2026. The work will be performed without a specified physical location, as the place of performance is not detailed, and the point of contact information is not provided, requiring potential bidders to engage directly through the DIBBS portal linked in the solicitation. All submissions must meet rigorous federal procurement standards to qualify for award.
