About this file

This document contains a Special Packaging Instruction (SPI) and information about a related upcoming federal contract opportunity for Assembly, Storage and Distribution support services.

The SPI provides detailed packaging and marking requirements for Hand Held Assays used to detect Brucella species, including instructions for individually bagging and desiccating the assays, boxing them with supplemental containers and closure methods, and using polystyrene cooler packs as exterior shipping containers. Products must meet quality testing standards and be marked with identifying information.

The pre-solicitation notice indicates the Army intends to issue a full and open competition for Assembly, Storage and Distribution of biological defense products. Services include manufacturing consumable reagents and items for detection systems, storing and distributing assays, reagents, end items and related products, inventory management, disposal and shipping domestically and internationally. The single or multiple award firm fixed price contract (with cost reimbursement for Distribution) would run one base year with four option years. Proposals are not reimbursable, and the solicitation is expected to post to FBO on June 6, 2019 under NAICS 333999. Interested parties should register in SAM and direct procurement questions to the named contracting officer.

(b) Examination. The packaged sample shall be examined in accordance with the visual preservation examinations (Table G---1) and the packing inspection examination procedures in Appendix G of MIL---STD---2073---1.

(c) Leakage and heat seal seam tests. Sealed containers (in accordance with Method 41) shall be leak tested as specified in Appendix G of MIL---STD---2073---1. Sample barrier bags shall be destructively tested in accordance with the applicable heat seal seam test requirements in Appendix G of MIL---STD---2073---1. Testing of the barrier bag for Heat Seal Seam strength and leakage is required.

(d) Acceptance criteria. First article samples that fail to comply with any of the applicable requirements shall be rejected.

3. Conformance Inspection.

(a) Sampling. Sampling size shall be in accordance with the Attributes Sampling Plan Table of MIL---STD---1916. For examinations and leakage tests, Verification Level I shall be used. When heat seal seam tests are required, Verification Level II shall be used. Existing sampling plans in item specifications or quality assurance provisions shall take precedence.
