About this file
The document is a FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) Excel spreadsheet for a Department of the Air Force solicitation (FA822026DS01) involving the shipping of thermal batteries. The one-time requirement involves transporting two boxes of 34 thermal batteries from a foreign partner location to Hill Air Force Base in Utah, with an estimated shipment value of $74,800. Key shipment details include two boxes measuring 0.27 x 0.27 x 0.42m, weighing 7kg each, with specific temperature storage requirements between 100 and -70 degrees Celsius.
The solicitation is a pre-solicitation Request for Information (RFI) seeking qualified companies to handle hazardous goods transportation, with specific requirements including obtaining necessary export/import licenses, ensuring proper packaging and labeling, maintaining chain-of-custody, and coordinating customs processes. The shipment has a US DOT hazard classification of 1.4 and UN 3178 classification of 4.1 (flammable solids). The government will be the importer of record, using Delivered at Place (DAP) Incoterms, and a DD-250 delivery form will be required. Contractors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) and the recommended NAICS code is 484230.
