Containers will be build to print based upon existing export controlled government specifications and drawings. Offerors must have a current DD Form 2345 to receive the technical package attached to the solicitation. The offeror must fund design, qualification, and other non-recurring costs associated with validating the proposed container meets the Government specification.
