Packaging must meet DLA requirements, and physical identification marking is required on bare items. Government identification must be removed from non-accepted supplies, and measuring and test equipment must be properly calibrated. The item has no shelf life restriction. Delivery is due within 65 days of award, and the place of performance is Cherry Point, NC, with Charece Smith as the point of contact. The solicitation is fully competitive under a federal specification, and defense information potentially applies.
