Responsibilities include fabricating the kits, packaging the final components into government-provided containers according to specific packing instructions 17-1-4809 and TM 10-5411-221-14&P, and shipping the completed units to the government. Performance will primarily occur at the contractor's facilities, with the primary point of contact located in Natick, Massachusetts.
