DLA Distribution San Joaquin DDJC Plywood Boxes

This amendment to solicitation SP330026Q0144 addresses vendor questions regarding the procurement of plywood boxes for sheet metal. Key clarifications include that listed dimensions are for the inside of the box, with an overall assembled height of 3 inches with a detached lid. The government does not have a maximum weight capacity per crate but requires fully assembled, stacked, wrapped, and strapped crates for delivery. The document confirms specific interior dimensions for four item numbers (0001, 0002, 0003, 0004), clarifying that external dimensions will be six inches greater due to 1x3 strip framing. The boxes must conform to ASTM D6251 Type III, Class 2, Style A, Treatment A, Load-Type 2, and be shipped assembled with an un-nailed top panel closure, wood cleats/frame construction, 3/4 inch plywood panels, and heat-treated with a stamp. No additional drawings or technical data packages are available beyond the ASTM D6251 standard. Multiple or partial deliveries are acceptable, and the deadline for submissions remains unchanged.
