PSC Category 8150-P (Freight Containers) encompasses a diverse range of shipping and storage containers used by federal government agencies for logistics, transportation, and operational support. These containers include standard ISO containers, specialized military containers like TRICON, QUADCON, and BICON types, as well as refrigerated and expandable units. The containers are designed to meet strict military and international standards, supporting various operational requirements across defense, civilian, and research agencies.

Federal Contract Awards in this category frequently involve the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA), U.S. Coast Guard, NASA, and other military branches procuring containers through small business set-aside contracts. Typical contract values range from $8,000 to $350,000, with performance periods generally spanning 3-12 months. Sea Box, Inc., W & K Containers, and Sanitz Enterprises have been prominent awardees, receiving multiple contracts to supply different container configurations. Most awards are firm fixed-price purchase orders, predominantly set aside for small businesses, with delivery locations including military bases in the United States and overseas locations like Japan and Germany.

Recent Federal Contract Opportunities demonstrate continued demand for specialized containers across government agencies. The Defense Logistics Agency has solicited multiple requirements for ISO Tricon II containers, seeking 111-185 units with specific military standards and color specifications. The U.S. Coast Guard is procuring ten TRICON Type II shipping containers for Port Security Unit 93310, while the Department of State seeks 40-foot containers for operations in Guatemala. These opportunities consistently emphasize technical compliance, small business participation, and precise dimensional and performance specifications, indicating a structured and methodical approach to container procurement.
