About this opportunity
The Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Construction and Equipment has issued a Sources Sought Notice to conduct market research for mobile storage cage systems and related equipment manufactured by Sharkcage, Inc. The procurement includes 37 different items covering support containers, shipping and storage containers, shelter mobile systems, utility area shelter systems, modification kits, and various camouflage covers for military applications. Currently, these requirements are sole-sourced to Sharkcage, Inc. (CAGE code 54TC1), but DLA is exploring the possibility of opening competition through a long-term contract. Interested contractors must submit a complete technical data package that includes original manufacturer's drawings for review by the Engineering Support Activity, as the government does not possess these proprietary drawings. The Sources Sought Notice was posted on August 27, 2025, with responses due by September 26, 2025, though this is purely for market research and planning purposes rather than a formal solicitation.
This opportunity does not include any set-aside designation and is open to all qualified contractors who can demonstrate capability to manufacture the specified items. Sharkcage, Inc. serves as the current sole-source provider for these specialized military storage and shelter systems under CAGE code 54TC1. The attached spreadsheet details annual estimated demand quantities ranging from 0 to 1,898 units across the various line items, indicating significant volume potential for interested manufacturers. If DLA proceeds with a formal solicitation, any resulting contract award would not exceed a five-year period, suggesting a substantial long-term procurement opportunity. The items fall under Federal Supply Classification codes related to specialized shipping and storage containers, with part numbers and technical specifications that interested parties would need to reverse-engineer or obtain licensing rights to manufacture.
