About this opportunity
Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support is conducting market research to identify contractors capable of supplying Sharkcage shipping and storage container systems under an anticipated Long-Term Type Contract with a five-year maximum period; the Sources Sought Notice closes October 31, 2026. The requirements are currently sole-sourced to Sharkcage, Inc. (cage code 54TC1), and DLA is seeking competitors or alternatives ahead of potential solicitation.
The procurement covers 36 line items across multiple product categories: Support, Shipping and Storage Containers; Shelter Mobile Systems; Utility Area Shelter Systems; Modification Kits; STF Camouflage and Reversible Covers; Modular Storage and Transport Covers; and Intermodal Storage systems. Federal Supply Class codes are primarily 8145 (containers, shipping and storage equipment), with one 5410 entry. NAICS 332439 (Other Metal Container Manufacturing) and PSC 8145 (Specialized Shipping and Storage Containers) apply.
Interested contractors must submit a complete technical data package including original manufacturer's drawings for Engineering Support Activity review. The drawings are proprietary to the current manufacturer and held by the original equipment manufacturer, not the Government. No compensation is provided for market research submissions. This notice does not constitute a solicitation, RFP, or Government commitment. Any resulting formal solicitation will be synopsized on SAM.gov; contractors must monitor the Contract Opportunities website for official announcements.
