The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation is seeking quotations for 28 units of specialized shipping and storage containers with aluminum shell material, manufactured according to Container Research Corporation drawing number 579E001. The solicitation requires one First Article Test (FAT) submission for government non-destructive testing, and offerors must possess engineering source approval through an approved Source Approval Request (SAR) or submit one with their proposal to be considered technically acceptable. Award will be made to the lowest priced, technically acceptable offeror with responsible past performance. The evaluation criteria include technical acceptability based on FAT results and SAR approval status, pricing, and past performance history. The original offer deadline of April 13, 2026, was extended to April 15, 2026, at 2:00 PM local time via Amendment 0001, and offerors must acknowledge receipt of this amendment to avoid rejection of their proposals.

This is an unrestricted procurement with no set-aside designation, and there are no identified incumbent contractors listed in the solicitation documents. The Government's estimated FAT cost is $10,000, which will be added to all offerors' pricing for evaluation purposes; however, no specific contract award value is disclosed in the available documentation. The requirement consists of 28 units to be delivered to the DLA Distribution facility in New Cumberland, Pennsylvania (address W25G1U), with a delivery performance period of only 3 days after contract award. Inspection and acceptance will occur at origin, with packaging required in accordance with MIL-STD-2073 and marking per MIL-STD-129. The place of performance is Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, where DLA Aviation Procurement Operations administers the contract, with Casey Stock serving as the primary point of contact.
