About this opportunity
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Science and Technology Directorate has issued a Limited / Sole Source Justification Notice for procuring and developing Secure Hybrid Composite Containers (SHCC) through a sole-source contract awarded to Global Secure Shipping, Inc. (GSS). The contract, numbered 140D0425C0003, involves purchasing 39 additional six-sided secure 1AAA shipping containers and conducting field trials for these and 15 previously fabricated containers, with the primary objective of enhancing supply chain security capabilities. DHS determined GSS is the sole vendor capable of meeting the requirements due to its unique research and development history, ISO certification, and established manufacturing facility, which was supported by market research that yielded no alternative viable vendors. The contract is funded by the Washington Headquarters Service's Defense Production Act Investments (DPAI) Office and has an estimated performance period of 36 months, focusing on developing advanced intermodal shipping containers that can prevent tampering and mitigate potential threats during transit. While the exact contract value was not specified, the justification aims to reduce container inspections at ports of entry and improve the security of sensitive cargo through innovative container design and technology.
