This procurement includes no set-aside designations and is not restricted to any particular business category. The contract will be awarded for a five-year base period with no options, establishing a total contract duration of five years. The guaranteed minimum quantity will be specified in the formal solicitation, though the estimated annual demand is 2,445 boxes. Required delivery is 115 days from order placement to any facility in the Continental United States, with terms set as FOB Origin and Inspection/Acceptance Origin for DLA Direct.
