About this opportunity
The Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support's Construction & Equipment Directorate is requesting information regarding ISO shipping containers and related equipment classified under Federal Supply Code 8150 to assess industry compliance with updated Buy American Act regulations. Specifically, the government seeks to determine which domestic and qualifying country steel suppliers and manufacturers can meet the revised DFARS 252.225-7001 definition of "domestic end product," which requires that iron and steel not produced in the United States or a qualifying country constitute less than 5 percent of the cost of all components. The RFI addresses 21 specific National Stock Numbers covering various container configurations including 20-foot and 40-foot ISO shipping containers, QUADCONs, TRICONs, and BICONs in multiple variants. This is a pre-solicitation notice only, with responses due by April 3, 2026, to Anna Lake (anna.lake@dla.mil) and Avril Dickerson (avril.dickerson@dla.mil). Interested parties should note that this Request for Information does not represent an actual solicitation or Request for Proposals, and no immediate procurement action is available at this time.
No set-aside designations apply to this pre-solicitation notice, and no incumbent contractors or award values are identified in this RFI stage. The government has not announced a specific procurement timeline, budget range, or quantity requirements, as the primary objective at this stage is to gather market intelligence regarding the availability of compliant suppliers and manufacturers. Respondents should be aware that all submissions will be treated as Controlled Unclassified Information and should provide detailed information about their capacity to supply steel components or complete containers meeting the revised domestic content thresholds. The RFI represents the Defense Logistics Agency's effort to understand the industrial base capabilities before any formal solicitation is issued, making this an important opportunity for suppliers to establish their eligibility and capabilities with the government.
