Purchase Order N4215826PE007

Container Technologies Industries, LLC, a HUBZone-certified small disadvantaged business based in Tennessee, was awarded a $38,630 firm fixed-price purchase order by the Naval Sea Systems Command on December 18, 2025, for the fabrication and delivery of four specialized containers to Norfolk Naval Shipyard in Portsmouth, Virginia. The contract calls for manufacturing two 5,000-pound capacity containers with interior dimensions of 70 x 54 x 42 inches and two 1,500-pound capacity containers with interior dimensions of 72 x 27 x 27 inches, all meeting stringent radioactive excepted package certification requirements and featuring sophisticated engineering specifications including removable covers, gaskets for bolted closures, and dual-orientation loading capabilities for both crane and forklift operations. All containers must be fabricated with mercury-free materials and black paint finish if carbon steel construction is used, with design drawings subject to approval by Naval Shipyard technical personnel prior to manufacturing.

This award was issued without a small business set-aside designation; however, the originating pre-solicitation notice indicates the procurement was structured as a 100 percent small business set-aside under NAICS code 332439 (Other Metal Container Manufacturing). Container Technologies Industries has established itself as a strategic supplier to Naval Sea Systems Command and Naval Supply Systems Command through its specialized expertise in custom container design and manufacturing for defense and nuclear logistics applications. The firm holds a significant $20 million single-award blanket purchase agreement with NAVSUP running through December 2027 and has consistently delivered specialized containers for nuclear waste storage and transportation applications, positioning this current contract within its core business operations supporting Department of the Navy supply chain requirements.
