Padlock Set Manufacturing / Assembly

The contract involves the manufacturing and final assembly of padlock sets that must comply with stringent U.S. Department of Defense technical standards, including MIL-STD-130N for item identification, MIL-STD-1916 for acceptance sampling, and ASTM D3951 for packaging and labeling requirements. All work must meet exacting specifications to ensure compatibility, durability, and traceability for military logistics and operational use. The production will be executed as a subcontract under the LAND SUPPLY CHAIN division of the Department of Defense, with performance required at a designated facility in New Cumberland, Pennsylvania, zip code 17070-5002. The North American Industry Classification System code 332211 confirms the scope as locksmith and hardware manufacturing. Responses to this solicitation are due by July 27, 2026, with the request publicly posted on July 16, 2026, through the DIBBS platform. The contract type is explicitly designated as a subcontract, indicating it will be awarded to a supplier engaged by a prime contractor rather than directly by the government. There is no set-aside provision specified, meaning the opportunity is open to all qualified vendors without preference for small businesses or other categories. The absence of a point of contact suggests inquiries should follow standard DIBBS protocol. Compliance with all technical, packaging, and documentation standards is critical for award consideration and subsequent delivery acceptance.
