Ruggedized Lightweight Transit Case Manufacturing

The contract calls for the design and fabrication of two ruggedized, lightweight transit cases weighing approximately thirteen pounds each, intended to transport sensitive military electronic systems with maximum durability and mobility. Each case must feature an internal rack mounting system fully compatible with the TRIK-M racking standard to ensure seamless integration with existing military equipment setups. The cases are required to withstand harsh environmental conditions typical of field operations while maintaining a low overall weight to support portability and reduce logistical strain on personnel. The work is being procured under a subcontract by the National Research Council of Canada on behalf of the Government of Canada, with performance expected to occur within the National Capital Region. The solicitation was posted on April 30, 2026, and all proposals must be submitted by May 15, 2026. The North American Industry Classification System code 339999 indicates this falls under other miscellaneous manufacturing, suggesting specialized custom fabrication is the core requirement. There is no set-aside classification specified, and the opportunity is open to eligible subcontractors capable of meeting the technical and performance standards outlined for military-grade protective packaging.
