Third-Party Packaging Vendor for Government Contracts

The contract requests a small business subcontractor to provide full packaging services in full compliance with MIL-STD specifications for government contracts, specifically when the prime contractor lacks the internal capability to perform these services. All costs associated with the packaging work must be absorbed into the prime contractor’s quotation, meaning the subcontractor’s pricing is embedded within the prime’s overall bid without separate billing or line items. The requirement is issued under a Total Small Business Set-Aside, mandating that only small businesses certified under SBA guidelines may respond, and the NAICS code 561990 designates the work as other support services. The solicitation is managed by the Department of Homeland Security’s Sflc Procurement Branch 1, with a response deadline of May 4, 2026, at 1:00 PM. The place of performance and specific delivery details are not disclosed, but compliance with military packaging standards is non-negotiable and central to award evaluation.
