BALL, VALVE, PORTED

The contract involves the procurement of a single line item, BALL, VALVE, PORTED (NSN 4210-01-518-0463), awarded to LARKOS PACKING AND DISTRIBUTION INC with CAGE code 6PZL1, under solicitation SPE8E6-26-T-2488 and contract number SPE8E626V1248, issued by the Defense Logistics Agency. Although the original line item carried an extended price of $2,700.84 for two units, a formal modification reduced the total contract value to $0.00, effectively canceling the award. Despite the financial value being nullified, the contract remains active in administrative terms with a fixed delivery deadline of October 5, 2026, and FOB origin terms, meaning title and risk transfer to the government at the contractor’s facility. The required delivery location is the DLA Distribution DDSP New Cumberland Facility in New Cumberland, Pennsylvania. Compliance with DLA packaging standards is mandatory, including adherence to RP001 for general procurement packaging, ASTM D3951 for non-hazardous materials, and FED-STD-313 with TQ IP025 for hazardous materials, while all markings must conform to MIL-STD-129, including proper barcoding aligned with unit of issue and quantity per unit pack. Hazard communication labeling is governed by 29 CFR 1910.1200 unless preempted by other federal statutes. The contract incorporates a multitude of Federal Acquisition Regulation and Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement clauses covering cybersecurity, supply chain risk, trafficking in persons, equal opportunity, contractor reporting obligations, and safeguarding of defense information. Key clauses include 252.204-7012 for safeguarding covered defense information and cyber incident reporting, 252.204-7020 for NIST SP 800-171 assessment requirements, and 252.223-7001 for hazard warning labeling, with mandatory submission of hazard labels prior to award. Transportation is governed by clauses addressing sea transport and reflagging or repair work, and invoicing must be processed via WAWF with separate invoice and receiving report submissions for supply contracts. The contractor is required to represent its small business status and socioeconomic certifications, though no actual responses from the offeror are documented.
