Specialized Packaging and Crating for Bearings

The contract calls for the design and fabrication of specialized shipping containers made from 3/4-inch plywood, engineered to safely transport bearings during transit. Each container must include reinforced internal and external bracing, wooden blocking to prevent movement, and steel strapping to ensure secure load retention, all in strict compliance with ASTM D3951-98 packaging standards. The packaging solution must be durable enough to withstand handling and environmental stresses while maintaining the integrity of the sensitive bearing components throughout shipment. This is a small business set-aside subcontract under NAICS code 321911, awarded by the Department of Homeland Security’s Sflc Procurement Branch 1, with responses due by July 6, 2026. The opportunity is exclusively available to small businesses as defined by the SBA, and performance location details are not specified. Bidders must demonstrate technical capability to meet the exacting structural and protective requirements outlined in the scope, ensuring that the containers will reliably safeguard bearings under real-world logistics conditions.
