ADAPTER, STRAIGHT, PI

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded a sole-source contract to APPLIED INDUSTRIAL TECHNOLOGIES, IN (CAGE 4X136) for the procurement of two straight pipe-to-tube adapters under NSN 4730015250114, with a total contract value of $90.00, awarded on July 20, 2026. The solicitation, SPE7M0-26-T-007P, is a simplified acquisition issued as a Small Business Set-Aside with a DO-C9 priority rating under the Defense Priorities and Allocations System. Deliverables must be shipped within five days after order placement under FOB Origin terms, with the final destination designated as Watervliet, NY, 12189-4050, and the contract operates under the First Destination Transportation program. The item must comply with the DLA Master List of Technical and Quality Requirements and be packaged, marked, and palletized according to ASTM D3951, MIL-STD-129, and DLA RP001, with the Master List taking precedence over any industry standard. The contract imposes extensive regulatory and compliance obligations, including mandatory adherence to the Buy American Act and Berry Amendment for domestic content, prohibition of hexavalent chromium, and restrictions on the use of additive manufacturing, which disqualifies any offer using such processes unless explicitly authorized. Contractors must use Wide Area Workflow for all invoicing and receiving reports, submitting either invoices with receiving reports or combo documents for fixed-price items, and cost vouchers for cost-type line items. Compliance with FAR and DFARS clauses covering employment eligibility verification, combating human trafficking, sustainable products, hazardous material identification, employment discrimination, cybersecurity assessments per NIST SP 800-171, export controls, and military item restrictions from Chinese communist military companies is required. All suppliers must maintain active SAM registration, current representations regarding small business status, and provide disclosures for non-domestic materials. Inspection and acceptance occur at the destination point, and all safety, environmental, and transportation requirements, including ocean shipment declarations and proper labeling, are strictly enforced, with failure to comply potentially triggering invoice rejection under the Prompt Payment clause.
