40FT High Cube (HC) with Doors Both Ends & One FULLSIDE opening

The Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Construction and Equipment has issued a pre-solicitation notice for the procurement of specialized shipping containers, specifically 40-foot High Cube containers with doors on both ends and one full-side opening. This notice serves as advance notification of the government's intent to issue a formal solicitation in the near future for these metal containers, which fall under NAICS code 332439 (Other Metal Container Manufacturing) and PSC code 8145 (Specialized Shipping and Storage Containers). The containers will be delivered within the Continental United States (CONUS), and all responsible sources will be eligible to submit bids, proposals, or quotations when the formal solicitation is published. The pre-solicitation was posted on September 12, 2025, with a response deadline of September 27, 2025, though this current notice is not a request for quotes. The agency has indicated that full requirement details and evaluation criteria will be outlined in the forthcoming formal solicitation to be published on DIBBS.

This procurement does not utilize any set-aside designations, making it a full and open competition available to all qualified contractors. The government is seeking to purchase 150 units of these specialized containers, with quantity breaks available, though specific pricing structures have not been detailed in this pre-solicitation phase. No incumbent contractors or current service providers are mentioned in the notice, suggesting this may be a new requirement or open competition. The items are designated as non-national stock number items, indicating they may be custom or specialized configurations not part of standard military supply catalogs. Budget ranges or estimated contract values have not been disclosed at this pre-solicitation stage, as is typical for initial government notices of intent.
