The document emphasizes adherence to military safety standards (MIL-STD) and the importance of proper logistics for international shipments, notably regarding wood packaging. This SOW reflects the government's demand for quality technical equipment while ensuring compliance with safety, operational, and regulatory protocols.

This document is an amendment clarifying several inquiries related to a federal solicitation for equipment support in Albania.
