ALUMINUM, MAGNESIUM, SIMETHICONE TABLETS

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded a delivery order under basic contract SPE2DX25D8022 to Cardinal Health, Inc. (CAGE 00E55) for the procurement of two bottles of aluminum, magnesium, simethicone tablets (NSN 6505014731770, NDC 00904-6700-60) at a total contract value of $6.44. The order was issued on July 19, 2026, with a required delivery date of July 20, 2026, to USNS MATTHEW PERRY T-AKE 9 at FPO AP 96675 under FOB Destination terms, meaning the contractor bears all transportation costs and risks until delivery. The contractor is designated as a small business, with indications of potential Small Disadvantaged and Women-Owned Small Business status, triggering compliance with FAR 52.212-3 and subcontracting reporting obligations. Product delivery must adhere to strict packaging and labeling standards, requiring all shipments to include the contract number SPE2DX-25-D-8022, delivery order number SPE2D926F7446, the NDC, and the manufacturer’s CAGE code 0SYT3, with parcel post explicitly prohibited. Inspection and acceptance occur solely at the destination by government representatives, with zero tolerance for quantity variance. Payment is processed through the Defense Finance and Accounting Service in Columbus, Ohio, under payment code SL4701 and accounting code 97X4930 5CBX 001 2620 S33189. The contracting officer is Lisa Quinn, with Michelle Pampel serving as the local administrator, though no formal Contracting Officer’s Representative is identified. The acquisition falls under simplified procedures consistent with FAR Part 13, and the award was likely made on a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable basis given the minimal scope, low value, and absence of technical evaluation criteria. No MIL-STDs, special requirements, or additional attachments are cited, and the contract structure reflects a routine pharmaceutical supply request under a pre-established IDIQ vehicle.
