84--"DECORATION SET, INDIV

The government plans to issue a solicitation for the manufacture and delivery of 10,000 individual medal decoration sets for civilian service in the Army, compliant with military specification MIL-DTL-3943. The contract will be a firm fixed price, total small business set-aside, with a production lead time of 165 days. All items must be entirely produced in the United States using 100% U.S.-made materials, adhering to strict domestic content requirements under regulations including the Berry Amendment. The destination for the delivered items is Arizona Industries for the Blind in Phoenix, Arizona. The award process will emphasize the Automated Best Value Score (ABVS), which will carry more weight than price alone in the evaluation. Solicitation documents will be electronic, accessible via the DLA Procurement Gateway, and only registered vendors can submit quotes. The solicitation is expected to be posted approximately one week after the synopsis date. The contract falls under NAICS code 314999, and inquiries can be directed to the identified government contact. Importantly, foreign content restrictions apply, limiting the use of non-U.S. materials and components in the production of these medals unless specific exceptions are met.
