Performance Oriented Packaging (POP) Boxes

The Army Contracting Command – Redstone Arsenal intends to issue a solicitation for the manufacture of Performance Oriented Packaging (POP) Boxes to use as storage/shipping containers for the Guided Multiple Launch Rocket System (GMLRS) warheads, rocket motors, and residual components (i.e. fin restraints, igniters, and fuses). This will be an Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity type contract consisting of a one-year base ordering period with 4 additional one-year ordering periods for up to a total 5-year ordering period. The Government expects to order a minimum quantity of 14,976 POP boxes per year, and up to a maximum quantity of 29,952 POP boxes per year. A POP Box Qualification Test Plan, POP Box Test Report, and Quality Program Plan (QPP) will be required deliverables. A First Article Inspection (FAI) and Production Line Validation (PLV) with U.S. Government participation will be required at production start-up. The POP Boxes will require POP certification testing in accordance with Title 49 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) and American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM), D4919, Testing of Hazardous Materials Packaging. This is a 100% small business set aside; therefore, only U.S. small businesses will be eligible for award.
