ADHESIVE

On July 14, 2026, the Defense Logistics Agency awarded Contract SPE8ES26P1002 to Airtech International Inc. (CAGE 53912) for the procurement of adhesive identified by NSN 8040016124474, with a total contract value of $450.00. The delivery is scheduled for completion within 20 days after award, with the specified destination being Fort Bliss, Texas, under FOB Destination terms. The contract adheres to stringent packaging and marking standards, requiring compliance with MIL-STD-2073-1E for packaging and preservation and MIL-STD-129 for labeling and barcoding, including the use of specific storage codes, hazardous material markings, and 2D machine-readable data. The adhesive has a non-extendable shelf life of 18 months under storage conditions of 60–80°F and must be preserved using HM CLNG/DRY:1 methods with no preservation material applied. The contract incorporates numerous Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) clauses, many of which include deviations from standard text, indicating tailored compliance requirements. Key clauses include safeguards for covered defense information and cyber incident reporting, requirements for safeguarding contractor information systems, and provisions for combating trafficking in persons and employment eligibility verification. Cybersecurity obligations are enforced through DFARS 252.204-7012 and 252.204-7009, while hazardous material handling is governed by OSHA standards and specific DLA directives requiring submission of Safety Data Sheets and hazard labels. The contract mandates invoicing through WAWF and includes clauses addressing accelerated payments to small business subcontractors and unenforceability of unauthorized obligations. Representations required from the contractor include disclosures of Unique Entity Identifier, CAGE code, socioeconomic status, and compliance regarding covered defense telecommunications equipment. No formal attachments or statement of work are provided, but performance is defined through adherence to technical and logistical standards. The contract was sourced through DIBBS under the solicitation SPE8ES-26-T-2350, which likely operated under simplified acquisition procedures, possibly leveraging an LPTA evaluation approach, with proposals required to be submitted electronically by July 15, 2026.
