  GSA Approved Container Ordering Information

Per ISOO Notice 2014-02, ALL "GSA Approved" security containers and vault doors MUST BE PROCURED through GSA Global Supply.  GSA Approved Information Processing System (IPS) containers must be purchased under the GSA Multiple Award Schedule program.

Order GSA-approved security containers from the GSA Global Supply Security Container web page.  Find a security container that meets all requirements and order using the corresponding NSN.  U.S. Government employees refer to this GSA Ordering Guidelines document to properly procure a GSA-approved security container.  U.S. Government Contractors please review this GSA Container Procurement Process for Contractors document before procuring a GSA-approved security container.  For additional guidance you can visit GSA Ordering Procedures for Security Containers web page or call (817) 850-5512 or (817) 850-5556 to talk to a security container sales representive. 

Important Container Ordering Information

GSA security container deliveries are being turned away at military installations due to no point of contact (POC) information on the Bill of Lading.  To avoid additional delivery charges you MUST provide Point of Contact information (name, daytime phone number and email address) in all GSA Global Supply procurement request forms to avoid delivery issues.  Also include any special delivery instructions if required and ensure the "Address Book" section in your GSA Global profile is current.  Please contact a GSA security container sales representive with any questions at (817) 850-5512.

Furthermore, it states "GSA Approved" security containers and vault doors must now be procured through GSA Global Supply utilizing the appropriate National Stock Number.
