The contract incorporates multiple Federal Acquisition Regulation and Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement clauses applicable to cost allowability, whistleblower protections, hazardous material handling, electronic payment submission via Wide Area WorkFlow (WAWF), maritime transportation, and disclosure of information. Packaging must comply with Fed-Std-313 for hazardous materials and ASTM D3951 for non-hazardous items, with palletization conforming to DLA’s RP001 standard. Government inspection and acceptance occur at the destination, with the contractor responsible for ensuring full compliance with all technical, packaging, and labeling stipulations prior to shipment. The primary point of contact for contract administration is Mary-Kathryn Donahue of DLA Troop Support Medical Supply Chain. No pricing data is listed in the contract’s line-item section, and the award was likely made under Simplified Acquisition Procedures for a commercial item without formal evaluation factors or socioeconomic set-asides specified.
