Container LTC Redacted Consolidation Memo.pdf

This document is a Consolidation Determination and Findings for an ISO Containers Long-Term Contract (LTC) issued by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA). The solicitation seeks to purchase International Standards Organization (ISO) standardized shipping containers in 38 different types, including 20-foot, 40-foot, bicon, tricon, and quadcon containers. The contract will be a multiple-award, indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity five-year term with a maximum contract value over $100 million, supporting DLA Troop Support Philadelphia, DLA Land and Maritime Detachment, and DLA Land Warren.

The document evaluates three alternative contracting approaches and recommends a Consolidated LTC approach, which is expected to yield better pricing, lower administrative costs, and shorter lead times compared to alternative methods. The acquisition strategy has been coordinated with the Small Business Office and is designed to ensure small business participation is not negatively impacted. The proposed approach will allow simultaneous vendor coordination, streamline container procurement, and provide vendors greater incentive to offer competitive pricing by facilitating their participation in container requirements over the next five years.
