On May 12, 2026, the solicitation SPE8EG25Q0006 was posted on SAM.gov for the procurement of an Industrial Fluid Cooler (NSN 4420-01-578-2232) under the authority of 41 U.S.C. § 1901, which permits other-than-full-and-open competition due to a limited supplier base. The Justification and Approval document was inadvertently omitted from the initial posting and was filed late on June 25, 2026, coinciding with the response deadline of June 25, 2026. This acquisition is structured as a Total Small Business Set-Aside under FAR 19.5, with the North American Industry Classification System code 332312, and is managed by DLA Troop Support out of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The contracting officer, Jessica Sheaffer, is the primary point of contact, with Shavon Peterson as the secondary contact, and no Contracting Officer’s Representative or technical representative has been designated. The procurement allows for alternate product submissions and includes a 50% quantity option for the industrial fluid cooler, though no formal pricing, CLIN, or cost details are provided, rendering the estimated contract value unknown. Evaluation factors are not clearly defined, but references to DLAD Procurement Notes M06 and L04 suggest technical acceptability of part-numbered items and compliance with specification requirements will be critical, possibly under a trade-off approach. No standard FAR or DFARS contract clauses, packaging and marking requirements, inspection criteria, or representations and certifications from offerors are included in the documentation. The place of performance is clearly specified as Philadelphia, PA, but delivery schedules, FOB terms, payment office details, invoicing methods, and accounting data are absent. The solicitation was issued under an SBA Total Small Business Set-Aside with no security clearance or organizational conflict of interest provisions identified, and while CAGE codes for two potential suppliers—Thrustmaster of Texas and Fluid Power Solutions—are referenced, no UEI information or socioeconomic certifications from respondents are provided. The procurement mechanism and contract type remain unspecified, and no formal Section H, K, or J attachments are present in the available materials.
