About this file

This document contains a detailed technical specification for 38 different National Stock Number (NSN) configurations of ISO shipping containers for the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Troop Support. The containers range from 10-foot BICONS to 20-foot and 40-foot ISO containers, including variations like QUADCONS and TRICONS, with options for CARC (Chemical Agent Resistant Coating) and non-CARC paint. Each container specification includes comprehensive technical requirements such as dimensions, material specifications (14-gauge corrugated steel, marine-grade plywood floors), forklift capabilities, lashing rings, ventilation, manifest boxes, and strict compliance with international shipping standards like ISO 668, ISO 1161, and the International Convention for Safe Containers (CSC).

The containers are intended for a five-year long-term contract, with a partial small business set-aside covering 35 of 38 contract line items (CLINs). The solicitation, expected on January 30, 2026, will be a multiple-award, indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contract incorporating economic price adjustments. Contractors will be required to submit FOB origin, firm-fixed ceiling prices for the containers. The acquisition will also be subject to World Trade Organization Government Procurement Agreement and Free Trade Agreements, with post-award competition for delivery orders and potential variations in FOB, inspection, acceptance, and delivery requirements.

PACKAGING/PACKING/SPECIFICATIONS:

SEE PACKAGING REQUIREMENT NARRATIVE FOR DETAILS

UNIT PACK: 001

LEVEL PRESERVATION: Military

LEVEL PACKING: A

This product description (NSN 8150-01-609-6554) incorporates the following clauses C11, C13, and D5.

C.11 Drawing Limitations

(a) The drawings supplied with this contract are not shop or process drawings. They are engineering design drawings. They are adequate to permit manufacture, and:

(1) depict the completed (item(s), and

(2) serve as the basis for inspection of the completed item(s).

(b) These drawings DON'T cover intermediate drawings/specifications or steps in the manufacturing process. As a result, even if you meet all the dimensions and tolerances specified in the engineering design drawing for each individual part, a cumulative unacceptable fit for the contract item could result.

( c ) The Contractor is responsible for producing the shop or process drawings needed to cover intermediate steps in the manufacturing process.

( d ) The Contractor is responsible for obtaining all specifications and drawings necessary to manufacture the items being solicited in accordance with the TDP including all incorporated specifications and drawings. Delivery delays are not excusable where the Contractor asserts that it did not have a specification or drawing and has failed to request, in writing, the specification from either the Procuring Contracting Officer or Contract Specialist prior to the solicitation closing date.

(e) If you fail to produce an end item with a cumulative fit that conforms to Government drawings, specifications or other supplemental manufacturing documentation, you'll be responsible for correcting this condition at no additional cost to the Government and no delivery schedule extension.

C13 Configuration Control Engineering Changes

(a) The Contractor may submit Engineering Change Proposal(s) (ECPs) and Request for Variance(s) (RFVs) for the requirements in the Government provided Technical Data Package (TDP). If a Value Engineering Change Proposal(s) (VECPs) clause is included on this contract, VECPs shall be submitted in the same manner as ECPs.

(1) ECPs - The Contractor may request a permanent change to the requirements specified in the TDP or any other baseline documentation by submitting an ECP. ECPs shall be submitted to include all Notice of Revisions (NORs) necessary to completely define the requested change. Each ECP shall be accompanied with at least one NOR per affected document. The Contractor shall not present any production items for acceptance that incorporate any change to the TDP or other baseline documentation until notified by the Government the ECP has been approved and incorporated in the contract.

(i) Page 1 of DD Form 1692 (or equivalent) shall be submitted for all ECPs. Pages 2-7 of DD Form 1692 shall be submitted when required to properly explain all the potential logistics and technical impacts of the proposed change. DD Form 1695 NOR or DD Form 1695-1 Tabulated NOR (or equivalents) shall be submitted to completely describe the desired change on each affected document.

(ii) All ECPs submitted by the Contractor will be routine priority unless otherwise justified. If the Contractor considers the ECP to be emergency or urgent, they shall include justification within 48 hours of submittal of the ECP.

(2) RFVs - The Contractor may request to temporarily depart from a requirement specified in the TDP or any other baseline documentation, by submitting an RFV. RFVs may be submitted either pre-production (formerly known as Request for Deviation (RFD)) or post-production and prior to acceptance by the Government (formerly known as Request for Waiver (RFW)). DD Form 1694 (or equivalent) shall be submitted for all RFVs. The Contractor shall not present any production items for acceptance with any nonconformance to the requirements in the TDP or other baseline documentation until notified by the Government the RFV has been approved and incorporated in the contract.

(b) Submission of requested changes - The submission of an ECP or RFV by the Contractor does not affect the required delivery dates specified within the contract, shall not constitute excusable delay in the performance of this Contract by the Contractor or in any way relieve the Contractor from compliance with the contract delivery schedule. If a delivery date change is needed, it must be negotiated with the Procuring Contracting Officer and documented via modification to the contract. The submission of an ECP and/or RFV by the Contractor shall not preclude the Government from exercising its rights under any clause of the Contract.

(c) Specifications - Permanent proposed changes to specifications which are part of the TDP or baseline documentation shall be requested with an ECP and NOR (i.e. Specification Change Notices (SCNs) are not required).

(d) Forms If any of the above listed forms are not included with the solicitation or contract, the Contractor may locate forms on the DOD Forms Website https://www.esd.whs.mil/Directives/forms/ or contact the Contract Specialist listed on page 1 of the solicitation or contract for copies of the forms.
