PSC Category 81 encompasses containers, packaging, and packing supplies, representing a critical component of federal logistics and material management infrastructure. These products include a diverse range of storage and transportation solutions such as shipping containers, freight containers, cable reels, storage partition systems, and specialized protective cases for military and civilian agencies. The category covers metal, composite, and fabric-based containers designed for various environmental conditions and operational requirements, spanning military, research, medical, and administrative applications.

While no specific contract awards were detailed in the provided documentation, the opportunities suggest typical contract values range from small purchases of 1-12 units to larger procurements of 20-50 containers. Most solicitations are designated as Total Small Business set-asides, primarily issued by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Troop Support Construction and Equipment, with performance locations predominantly at military bases, distribution centers, and federal facilities. The procurement processes typically utilize Request for Quote (RFQ) methods with delivery timelines ranging from 20 to 272 days after order, and are structured as firm fixed-price contracts under NAICS codes related to metal container manufacturing.

Recent federal contract opportunities in this PSC category demonstrate a wide variety of container requirements across government agencies. The Department of Defense represents the primary solicitor, with requirements including military shipping containers, deployable storage units, and specialized equipment cases for facilities like Air Force bases and naval research centers. Notable opportunities include the U.S. Coast Guard's procurement of 11 hi-cube storage containers, the Air Force's request for ISU containers, and the EPA's need for cryogenic liquid storage systems. Most opportunities are total small business set-asides, with delivery locations spanning military installations in California, Texas, Virginia, and other states, emphasizing the nationwide logistical support these containers provide.
