AI Contract Overview

Show more

The solicitation SPE4AX-26-T-0106 seeks a straight adapter, NSN 4730-00-594-1637, with a quantity of 50 units to be delivered within 526 calendar days after award, with performance location at Tinker Air Force Base. A critical requirement is the submission and acceptance of three first article units within 90 calendar days of contract award for government testing at the specified DDOO-SOP facility; these units are for evaluation only and do not count toward the 50-unit production order. The government has 180 days after receiving the first articles to issue written approval, conditional approval, or disapproval, and the units will be retained by the government as either test samples or manufacturing standards. Fast pay is not available, and offerors are strongly encouraged to provide quoted quantity ranges due to fluctuating demand, to facilitate award flexibility without administrative delays. Offerors must confirm compliance with domestic sourcing restrictions under the Berry Amendment and Buy American Act, disclosing any non-domestic content, and must not provide covered telecommunications equipment or services as defined by FAR 52.204-24 and DFARS 252.204-7016. Small business joint ventures must submit required certifications for eligibility. Additive manufacturing is prohibited unless specifically approved by the contracting officer, and all offers including such items will be deemed non-responsive. Contractors must register through DLA’s upcoming AMPS system to access the Vendor Shipment Module for shipping, and those using VSM WebServices must update their internal schema by the specified deadline. Offerors must also affirm they are not providing any items produced via additive manufacturing unless approved and comply with all other solicitation clauses. Failure to meet any of these requirements will disqualify the offer from award consideration.

Due to the volatility of demands, and frequent quantity changes on open
purchase requests, offerors are highly encouraged to submit quantity
ranges when quoting. If a PR is evaluated manually, quoting ranges
provides the buyer the option to combine requirements or reduce the
quantity as needed without resoliciting or adding any additional
administrative burden for either party involved when making an award.
This does not apply to Auto IDC.

SECTION A
If you anticipate quoting on a solicitation after the closing date,
please submit a DIBBS quote with a bid type of “No Bid” and place an
anticipated quote date or the reason you are not willing to quote. This
does not prevent you from submitting an actual quote on DIBBS at a later
date. It will overlay your previous no quote. This informs buyers of
your intention to quote and prevents multiple calls for updates and
cancelling of requirements assumed to be non-procurable due to no
quotes/sources. The submission of an anticipated quote date does not
preclude DLA from making an award to another acceptable timely offer.
