About this file

This document is a Salient Characteristics specification for the procurement of brand new 20-foot High Cube Refrigerated Containers to support temperature-sensitive storage and logistics operations. The Government requires delivery to 786 FSS/FSVF, Building 3332 Flight Kitchen (Delivery Area), Ramstein Air Base, 66877 Ramstein-Miesenbach, Germany, with all deliveries to occur Monday through Friday between 07:00 and 16:00 local time.

The refrigerated containers must meet specific functional and performance requirements including continuous temperature control ranging from -40°C to +40°C using low-Global Warming Potential refrigerant (R452a or equivalent), automatic defrosting, and a capacity of 10 Euro-Pallets. Each unit must feature a flat non-slip aluminum interior floor, standard internal LED lighting, a sliding PVC strip curtain at the main entry, dual-panel split doors with an integrated personnel access door, and life-safety features including internal panic release mechanism and active personnel lock-in alarm system. Electrical specifications require 380/420V, 50/60 Hz power with 32A Type hypra connection and a 12-meter cable. Essential physical characteristics specify external dimensions of maximum 6,060 mm length × 2,440 mm width × 2,900 mm height, internal dimensions of minimum 5,400 mm length × 2,250 mm width × 2,500 mm height, and pure white exterior finish (RAL 9010 or equivalent heat-reflective light color). The contractor must provide a steel access ramp (2,000 mm × 800 mm × 5 mm thick), construct a leveling platform per placement location requirements, and deliver complete installation of the container, ramp, and platform using contractor equipment and personnel. A minimum 2-year warranty or the manufacturer's standard commercial warranty—whichever is greater—shall be provided for all equipment.

Salient Characteristics

Subject: 20-Foot High Cube Refrigerated Container

1. General Requirements:

The Government requires the procurement of brand new 20-foot High Cube Refrigerated Containers. This equipment is essential to support temperature-sensitive storage and logistics operations under diverse environmental conditions.

2. Special Requirements:

A. Functional Requirements

• Provide continuous, temperature-controlled storage suitable for both deep-freezing and high-ambient cooling applications.

• Feature a flat, non-slip, aluminum interior floor to allow for smooth material handling equipment movement and loading/unloading.

• Include standard internal LED lighting for operational visibility.

• Must be equipped with a sliding PVC strip curtain (or industry equivalent) at the main entry to minimize temperature loss during personnel access.

• Must feature standard dual-panel split container doors (approximately 1/2 to 1/2 ratio) that include an integrated personnel access door (door-in-door) for rapid entry without opening the primary cargo doors.

• Incorporate life-safety features including an internal panic release mechanism and an active personnel lock-in alarm system.

• Automatic defrosting is required.

• Electrical requirements: 380/420 V,50/60 Hz; 32A Type hypra (3-pole/ grounding/neutral); connection cable 12 meters (400V) including plug for light setup.

• Capacity 10 Euro-Pallets

• Steal access ramp 2000mm x 800mm x 5mm (thick)

• Leveling platform (constructed IAW placement location); vendor visit may be required.

• Delivery and full setup and installation of container, ramp and leveling platform

(contractor equipment and personnel).

B. Performance Requirements

• Temperature Range: Must be capable of actively maintaining internal temperatures ranging from a minimum of -40°C to a maximum of +40°C.

• Refrigerant: Must utilize an industry-standard, low-Global Warming Potential (GWP) refrigerant, specifically R452a or an equivalent compliant alternative.

• Condition: All supplied units must be brand new (e.g., standard "one-trip" factory condition) with no prior commercial leasing or deployment history.

C. Essential Physical Characteristics

• External Dimensions: Maximum 6,060 mm Length x 2,440 mm Width x 2,900 mm Height (Standard ISO 20' High Cube footprint).

• Internal Dimensions: Minimum 5,400 mm Length x 2,250 mm Width x 2,500 mm Height (Accounts for varying insulation thicknesses across manufacturers).

• Exterior Finish: Must be painted pure white (e.g., RAL 9010) or a functionally equivalent heat-reflective light color.

3. Installation and Warranty

• Contractor shall provide delivery, placement and installation at the designated location.

• A minimum of 2-year warranty, or the manufacturer's standard commercial warranty — whichever is greater — shall be provided for all equipment

4. Delivery Requirements

786 FSS/FSVF

Building 3332 Flight Kitchen (Delivery Area), Ramstein Air Base

66877 Ramstein-Miesenbach, Germany

All deliveries shall be performed Monday thru Friday, from (07:00) to (16:00 ) local time.
