Contractor Submitted Question Government Response Question 1:

The only major change needed in box sizes was to the small box.

The inside dimensions of the outer RSC carton should be 15.75 long x 12.75 wide x 14.625 deep. The inside dimensions of the inner HSC liner should be 11 long x 8 wide x 12.5 deep. The inside dimensions of the cargo RSC box should be 10.75 long x

6.5 wide x 4 deep.

Response 1:

The contractors shall use the dimensions stated in the latest Commercial Item Description A-A-005919F dated 23 September 2015.

For the Small and Medium boxes (per the engineering design), the packaging is expected to compress by approximately 0.75" to 0.25" in height, respectively, through the inherent flexible characteristics of the foam plug material, as well as the non-rigid nature of the gel packs in their refrigerated (non-frozen) state. Although the height dimensions for these two specific sizes, when added, cause the foam plugs to sit slightly higher than the container openings, the packaging is designed to be that way. The pack-outs are designed to produce a tight fit that is part of the thermal design. Once the box is packed and the foam plug is pushed down, the cavity will be secure.

Note: Table I Thermal Shipping Containers, Inside Cavity is revised to read Inside Cavity, (ID, Below Plug) (+/-0.188”).
