The Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support is conducting market research to identify potential sources capable of providing various Sharkcage items. Requested scope includes support, shipping, and storage containers, mobile shelter systems, utility area shelter systems, modification kits, and specific storage covers. The requirements are currently sole-sourced to Sharkcage, Inc. (CAGE code 54TC1), and DLA Troop Support is evaluating the possibility of issuing a solicitation under a long-term contract not to exceed five years. Interested contractors must submit a complete technical data package containing a copy of the original manufacturer's drawings for review by the Engineering Support Activity. Because the drawings are proprietary to the manufacturer, the government does not possess them to provide to applicants. To express interest, contractors should contact Avril Dickerson at the DLA Troop Support Directorate of Construction and Equipment prior to October 31, 2026. This notice serves solely for information and planning purposes and does not constitute a formal solicitation or a commitment by the government to issue an award.
