About Sonoco Protective Solutions, Inc.

Sonoco Protective Solutions, Inc., a manufacturer of temperature-controlled shipping containers and insulated packaging for medical and pharmaceutical goods, operates as a prime contractor on full-and-open federal procurements with no set-aside designations, and is a subsidiary of Sonoco Products Company. Headquartered in Hartsville, South Carolina, the firm specializes in cold chain packaging and gel pack products for transporting temperature-sensitive pharmaceuticals, biologics, and vaccines, with work spanning polystyrene foam product manufacturing (NAICS 322113, 36 awards), specialized shipping containers (PSC 8140, 32 awards), and related packaging materials.

Sonoco Protective Solutions operates as a pure-play prime contractor (100% of awards), serving fourteen distinct federal agencies with no subcontract footprint. Customer concentration is pronounced and splits between two dominant buyers. The Defense Logistics Agency Distribution commands the highest share by both volume and dollars—29 awards worth $4.3 million combined potential value—reflecting sustained ordering for insulated thermal containers across medical supply chain distribution channels. The Department of Health and Human Services accounts for the second-largest funding share through three sub-agencies: the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response (4 awards, $1.8 million combined potential value, including a $71,961.92 definitive contract from August 2022 for a cold chain shipper to transport Ebola Zaire vaccine), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Office of Acquisition Services (7 awards, $823 thousand combined potential value), and the CDC Pittsburgh (4 awards, $656 thousand combined potential value). Together, DLA Distribution and HHS account for 96% of the combined potential value across all 211 awards. The remaining customers—the Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons, the Department of the Army, and smaller agencies—represent fragmented single-digit award counts.

Sonoco secured a significant single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract (4610129110) from the Defense Logistics Agency Distribution on February 1, 2026, valued at $3.17 million with a ceiling extending through January 31, 2031. The contract procures commercial off-the-shelf insulated thermal shipping containers in four size categories designed to maintain 2–8 degrees Celsius for a minimum of 72 hours, with a guaranteed minimum value of $10,000 and estimated quantities ranging from 20 to 9,560 units per line item across continental U.S. locations. Other vehicles carry smaller combined values—six task orders under IDC 4600000289 ($17 thousand combined potential value) and two task orders under IDC SP330026D0002 ($24 thousand combined potential value). Recent award activity reflects intermittent ordering: 11 awards in 2021, declining to 4 in 2022, 1 in 2023, 1 in 2024, and 3 in 2026. Representative delivery orders include a $16,402.32 order from March 2, 2026 (under an indefinite delivery contract with MEDCOM valued at $1.5 million through August 2029) and a $7,955.04 order from February 20, 2026, both for insulated thermal shipping containers in Hartsville, South Carolina. The firm also holds a subsidiary, Laminar Medica (Ce) S.r.o., a limited liability company manufacturer of goods based outside the United States.
