Specialized Packaging and Preservation Services

The contract calls for specialized packaging, preservation, and crating of fiber optic components in full compliance with ASTM-D-3951 standards, ensuring military-grade protection against environmental degradation and physical damage during transport. This includes thorough corrosion protection measures and secure preparation for logistics operations, with all work required to meet stringent defense sector requirements for durability and reliability. The services must be performed by a qualified small business, as this is a Total Small Business Set-Aside under SBA guidelines, with the North American Industry Classification System code 312230 indicating the focus on beverage and tobacco product manufacturing, though the nature of the work aligns with defense packaging and material handling. The solicitation is issued by the Naval Supply Systems Command Fleet Logistics Center Puget Sound under the Department of Defense, with responses due by July 14, 2026, and the posting date listed as July 6, 2026. The type of contract is a subcontract, indicating this work will be performed by a vendor supporting a larger prime contract, and while the specific place of performance is not identified, the work must be executed to ensure seamless integration into DoD supply chains. Timing is critical, with a tight eight-day window for proposal submission, and compliance with all technical, regulatory, and small business eligibility criteria is mandatory for consideration.
