40ft High Cube Shipping Container with 4 Side Cargo Doors / Quantity 2

NASA Shared Services Center is seeking to procure two 40-foot high cube shipping containers with four side cargo doors for use at their facility in Bay St Louis, Mississippi. The solicitation (Tracking Number 80NSSC25888567Q) is specifically for new, one-way shipping containers constructed of Corten anti-corrosive steel with precise dimensional and structural specifications. Potential vendors must be registered in SAM.gov and are required to include their leadtime for delivery, CAGE/UEI code, and point of contact information with their quote. The evaluation will be conducted using a lowest price technically acceptable (LPTA) methodology, meaning the contract will be awarded to the lowest-priced offer that meets all technical requirements. Key submission deadlines include questions due by December 6, 2024, at 9:00 AM CT, and final quotes due by December 9, 2024, at 7:00 AM CT, with all submissions to be sent to Shanna Patterson via email.

The contract opportunity is set aside exclusively for small businesses within the Other Metal Container Manufacturing NAICS category (332439). The containers must meet specific technical requirements, including marine grade plywood flooring, weather-resistant EPDM rubber door seals, and CSC Safety approval plates. Each container will have precise interior and exterior dimensions, with specific requirements for door openings, forklift pockets, weight, and capacity. The containers must weigh approximately 9,390 lbs, have a capacity of 2,625 cubic feet, and be uniform in color (either gray or beige). Offerors must also complete specific provisions related to telecommunications equipment, with failure to do so resulting in ineligibility for award. The place of performance is located in Bay St Louis, Mississippi, suggesting these containers are likely for NASA's local research or logistics operations.
