This opportunity is for the manufacture of a shock-qualified container for shipboard and DoD transportation use, requiring engineering source approval and strict adherence to a specific design drawing. The contractor is responsible for all tooling and manufacturing aids, and must comply with detailed welding, material, and sealing specifications, including a prohibition on MIL-W-81381 wire. A First Article Test (FAT) is required, with one unit due 120 calendar days after contract award, and the government estimates testing costs at $12,000, plus an additional $60,000 if shock test recertification is needed. The location for performance is not specified, but the FAT will be conducted at facilities in Lakehurst, NJ, and Picatinny Arsenal, NJ. New manufacturers may be subject to a pre-award survey and post-award conference.

This opportunity involves the acquisition of a single unit of NSN 6K-8145-015378167-V2, with delivery FOB origin. The part requires engineering source approval from the design control activity to maintain quality, and only approved sources with unique design and manufacturing knowledge can supply or repair it. The approved source(s) retain essential technical data or rights that are not economically available to the government. Any alternate source must qualify through procedures approved by the cognizant Government engineering activity. No specific budget amount, performance location, or non-bid timelines are mentioned.
