The following are desired characteristics of the subject containers:  Containers should be capable of being provided in three different sizes: small, for staterooms; medium, for office or workspaces; and large, for crew eating areas.  Containers should be lightweight and corrosion resistant.  Containers should be stackable to conserve deck space when not in use.  Containers should be capable of rough handling and should withstand a vertical drop of five feet onto a metal deck, when full, without sustaining damage.  A container with multiple interior chamber areas for separating different kinds of waste products is also acceptable.  Annual requirements for these containers are estimated at 5000. Potential sources with off-the-shelf technology that would meet the criteria above are requested to provide information describing their container product lines.
