This document is a Special Packaging Instruction (SPI) for Hand Held Assays, which are temperature-sensitive defense biological products. The SPI provides detailed packaging instructions, including using insulated cooler packs, desiccant, and special markings for refrigeration storage conditions. It specifies the required materials and packaging steps, such as bagging, boxed unit packs, and exterior shipping container assembly. The SPI also includes quality performance and testing requirements for first article and conformance inspections. This SPI supports a federal contract opportunity for the assembly, storage, and distribution of Defense Biological Product Assurance Office (DBPAO) products, solicitation number W911SR_24_R_0008, issued by the Department of the Army Materiel Command Army Contracting Command Aberdeen Proving Ground.
