Quadcon, container

The Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Construction and Equipment is issuing a pre-solicitation notice for the procurement of QUADCON containers, which are standardized freight containers identified by National Stock Number 8150-01-483-9115. This procurement falls under NAICS code 332439 (Other Metal Container Manufacturing) and PSC code 8150 (Freight Containers), indicating the requirement is for specialized military shipping containers. The agency intends to publish a full solicitation on DIBBS in the near future that will contain complete requirement details and specifications. The containers are designated for OCONUS (Outside Continental United States) delivery, suggesting deployment to overseas military installations or operations. All responsible sources will be permitted to submit bids, proposals, or quotations when the formal solicitation is released, as referenced under FAR 5.207(c)(16). The pre-solicitation was posted on September 30, 2025, with an anticipated response deadline of October 15, 2025.

This procurement does not utilize any set-aside designation, making it open to all qualified contractors regardless of size or socioeconomic status. The requirement specifies a quantity of 149 QUADCON containers, representing a substantial procurement that will likely require significant manufacturing capacity and logistics coordination. No incumbent contractor information or previous award values are disclosed in this pre-solicitation notice. The timeline indicates contractors will have approximately two weeks from the posting date to prepare their responses once the formal solicitation is released. The OCONUS delivery requirement suggests additional complexities related to international shipping, customs clearance, and coordination with military logistics networks that potential offerors should consider in their pricing and delivery schedules.
