Specialized Packaging & Crating for Musical Instruments and A/V Equipment

The contract calls for the design and fabrication of custom shock-absorbing and climate-stable crates and protective packaging specifically for delicate musical instruments and audiovisual equipment. The packaging must be engineered to withstand transportation stresses while maintaining environmental stability, ensuring the integrity of high-value, sensitive gear during transit. All solutions must be tailored to the unique dimensions, weight distributions, and fragility profiles of the items being protected, with an emphasis on durability, repeated use, and resistance to temperature and humidity variations. The solicitation is issued as a subcontract under the Department of Defense, managed by the FA7060 11TH Contracting Squadron, with performance required at Bolling AFB. The NAICS code 326199 indicates the work falls under other plastic product manufacturing, aligning with the specialized material and molding processes needed for custom crate construction. Interested parties must submit responses by May 21, 2026, at 9:00 PM, with no set-aside designation specified, allowing open competition regardless of business size or status. The project demands technical precision, adherence to defense-grade standards, and the ability to deliver reliably under tight operational timelines.
