About this opportunity
The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Troop Support is soliciting a five-year long-term contract to procure 38 configurations of ISO shipping containers, including 20-foot, 40-foot, bicon, tricon, and quadcon containers in various specifications. The contract will be structured as a multiple-award, indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity (IDIQ) agreement incorporating economic price adjustments. Offerors must submit FOB origin, firm-fixed ceiling prices for any or all 38 contract line items (CLINs), with all responsible sources eligible to compete. The technical specifications outlined in the supporting documentation establish comprehensive requirements addressing dimensions, material standards including 14-gauge corrugated steel and marine-grade plywood floors, international shipping compliance with ISO 668, ISO 1161, and the International Convention for Safe Containers, and specialized features such as forklift capabilities and lashing rings. The formal solicitation is expected to be released on January 30, 2026, via the Defense Integrated Business and Billing System (DIBBS), with a pre-solicitation notice deadline of January 29, 2026.
This acquisition includes a partial small business set-aside with 35 of the 38 CLINs reserved for small business contractors, while three CLINs remain unrestricted. The opportunity does not identify any incumbents or current contractors in the presolicitation notice. One or more items under the non-set-aside portion are subject to World Trade Organization Government Procurement Agreement and Free Trade Agreements requirements. Post-award competition will govern delivery orders, with potential variations in FOB terms, inspection and acceptance procedures, and delivery requirements depending on individual order specifications. For delivery orders solicited as FOB destination, offerors will be required to quote container prices and transportation costs as separate line items. This long-term contract represents a significant procurement opportunity for manufacturers in the metal container industry (NAICS 332439) capable of meeting stringent military transportation specifications.
