Box shipping

On March 9, 2026, the General Services Administration's Federal Acquisition Service awarded Connecticut Container Corp. a delivery order valued at $4,117 for box shipping services, with completion scheduled for April 8, 2026. This award represents a task order issued under Connecticut Container Corp.'s existing Federal Supply Schedule contract (IDV 47QSMS24D0080), a multiple-award indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity vehicle established on June 3, 2024, with a $500K ceiling and performance period extending through June 2, 2029. The supply schedule contract, which operates on an open competitive basis with no set-aside designations, enables the company to provide packaging materials and related products to civilian federal agencies under fixed-price arrangements with economic price adjustment provisions. Connecticut Container Corp., a precision-engineered packaging and shipping container manufacturer headquartered in North Haven, Connecticut, has maintained an active federal contracting presence since 2001 and supplies a comprehensive range of corrugated boxes, polyethylene nesting shipping boxes, pallet bases, and specialized shipping containers meeting stringent government specifications.

The delivery order reflects Connecticut Container Corp.'s established capability in meeting civilian federal agency requirements for storage, distribution, and transportation materials. Under the parent Federal Supply Schedule contract, the company offers products across 168 national stock numbers with ordering parameters establishing minimum orders of $1,000 and maximum orders of $100,000 per task order, standard lead times of 14 to 21 days, and Net 30 payment terms on a free on board origin shipping basis. The company has demonstrated strong competitive performance, having received numerous delivery orders and purchase orders throughout 2025, with contract values ranging from as low as $14 to as high as $68,733, indicating consistent demand from federal agencies for its packaging solutions.
