The procurement is structured as a five-year supply agreement with an initial anticipated order of approximately 16 units to replenish existing stock.

The procurement includes provisions encouraging participation from small businesses, minority-owned, and women-owned business enterprises, with small businesses defined as those having fifty or fewer employees and less than $10 million in annual revenue.

KUB maintains flexibility in the agreement, with the ability to terminate the contract with 90 days' written notice and modify order quantities or specifications with 30 days' written notice. The anticipated contract period runs from 2025 to 2030, providing a stable procurement framework for the specialized spill kit supply.
