ANTENNA

The contract is for the procurement of 13 antennas identified by NSN 5985-01-325-6960 under solicitation SPE7M1-26-U-4622, issued by the Maritime Supply Chain within the Department of Defense as a total small business set-aside under FAR 19.5 with a NAICS code of 334220. The solicitation was posted on July 22, 2026, with a response deadline of August 6, 2026, and is structured as an indefinite-delivery contract with a one-year ordering period, a guaranteed minimum of one unit, and a maximum contract value of $350,000. Delivery is required within 437 days ADO, with all shipments destined for locations within the continental United States, though specific delivery points will be defined by individual delivery orders. The contract mandates compliance with DLA’s Master List of Technical and Quality Requirements, particularly RP001 for packaging and IP025 for hazardous materials, where DLA standards supersede commercial norms like ASTM D3951. Packaging and labeling must adhere strictly to MIL-STD-129 for shipment identification, bar-coding, and radioactive material notifications, while hazardous items must also comply with 29 CFR 1910.1200 (HazCom) and require prior submission of Safety Data Sheets and hazard labels to avoid disqualification. The contractor must maintain current SAM registration, provide accurate UEI and CAGE codes, and certify small business status, with joint ventures required to disclose all participants and their qualifications. Special clauses impose obligations related to cybersecurity safeguarding of covered defense information, trafficking in persons prohibitions, employment eligibility verification, whistleblower rights notification, and compliance with restrictions on former DoD officials’ compensation. Invoicing is exclusively through Wide Area WorkFlow, and government representatives will conduct acceptance inspection at the destination. The absence of detailed technical specifications in Section C and evaluation factors in Section M indicates reliance on referenced standards and the DLA Master List for technical compliance, with award likely based on lowest price technically acceptable. The contract includes deviation waivers for several FAR clauses, all tied to Deviation 2026-00038, and explicitly prohibits internal confidentiality agreements that restrict employee reporting.
