Drums And Cans

The Product and Service Code (PSC) 8110 covers Drums and Cans, encompassing a wide range of shipping, storage, and containment solutions for government agencies. These products include metal and plastic drums, shipping containers, recyclable containers, specimen shipping containers, and related packaging materials. The category supports critical logistics, transportation, and materials management needs across various federal departments and military branches.

Recent federal contract awards under PSC 8110 demonstrate a robust market for shipping and storage solutions, with typical contract values ranging from $100 to $50,000. The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) is the primary funding agency, issuing numerous purchase orders and delivery orders to manufacturers like JFK Supplies Inc., Enpac LLC, and Packaging Specialties, Inc. Most awards are not set aside, allowing open competition, though some contracts are reserved for small businesses, including woman-owned, veteran-owned, and service-disabled veteran-owned enterprises. The contracts are predominantly fixed-price with economic price adjustments and have performance periods typically spanning 3-6 months.

Federal contract opportunities in this PSC category focus on specialized shipping drums and containers for military and naval operations. The Naval Sea Systems Command and DLA Troop Support are actively seeking sources for specific drum configurations, such as 85-gallon steel drums with removable gaskets and bolt-rings, and shipping drums meeting specific military specifications. The opportunities are primarily set aside for small businesses, including woman-owned and service-disabled veteran-owned businesses, and are located at various military facilities including Puget Sound Naval Shipyard, Indian Head Division, and DLA distribution centers across the United States.
