How to bid on 20-Foot MilSpec CONNEX Storage Containers for GSA
What the GSA is buying and why it matters
The General Services Administration (GSA) is conducting market research for six new 20-foot MilSpec CONNEX storage containers. These containers are to be delivered to Fort Stewart, Georgia. Each container must be fully outfitted with specific brand-name interior storage cabinets, shelving, a restraint and fastener system, and interior LED lighting with a switch and outlet.
This is a Request for Information (RFI), not a request for bids. The GSA wants to understand if businesses can provide these exact items, especially the specified Durham and Stanley Vidmar brand-name cabinets. Your response helps the government determine if a future solicitation is feasible and how it might be structured, including potential small business set-asides.
Key dates and what happens at the deadline
This RFI was published on September 08, 2026. All responses are due by September 18, 2026, at 4:30 PM ET. This is a firm deadline, and late submissions may not be considered.
Since this is market research, no awards will be made from this RFI. The GSA will use the information gathered to inform a potential future solicitation. Missing the deadline means your company's capabilities will not be included in this initial market assessment.
Who this opportunity suits
This opportunity is suitable for businesses that can supply new 20-foot MilSpec CONNEX storage containers. Crucially, vendors must be able to provide and install specific brand-name Durham and Stanley Vidmar cabinets, shelving, and related components.
Firms with experience in providing integrated storage solutions, especially those involving military-specification containers and specific interior outfitting, are well-suited. The delivery location is Fort Stewart, GA, so logistics capabilities for FOB destination delivery are important.
