The solicitation requires submission of pricing in Excel format, a completed TAA Certificate with Section E, a signed SF 1449 cover page, and a sample case for technical review by the March 2, 2026 deadline at 5:00 PM CDT. Technical specifications mandate gel pack dimensions of 6 7/8 to 7 inches in length and 5.3 to 5.5 inches in width, with individually partitioned designs in cardboard boxes featuring ventilation holes for rapid freezing.
