The delivery must be completed FOB destination no later than August 5, 2026, ensuring the cylinder reaches its destination with all shipping responsibilities resting on the supplier until arrival. The contract falls under NAICS code 325120, which pertains to industrial gas manufacturing, indicating the cylinder is produced as part of standardized industrial gas supply processes. The transaction is managed through the DLA’s contracting system, with the award linked to contract SPE4A616D0226 and delivery reference SPE4A626FCUDF, and no set-aside provisions apply to this solicitation. The supplier is obligated to meet the FOB destination requirement, meaning risk and cost transfer to the recipient only after the cylinder arrives at the specified FPO address, and the delivery timeline is strictly enforced to align with operational needs aboard the vessel. No point of contact or specific office location is provided, suggesting coordination will occur through standardized DLA logistics channels. The contract is publicly accessible via the DIBBS portal, and while it is classified as a subcontract, all performance requirements and compliance obligations are governed by the terms of the overarching DLA procurement structure. There are no special set-asides or geographic restrictions listed, and the cylinder must be delivered in full compliance with hazardous material shipping regulations and military logistics protocols.
