The award was issued on July 16, 2026, with a required delivery date of July 20, 2026, under FOB Origin terms, meaning title and risk of loss transfer to the government upon shipment from the contractor’s facility in Greenville, NC, while the government assumes responsibility for freight costs to the final destination at Hurlburt Field, FL.

Payment is processed through the Defense Finance and Accounting Service under code SL4701 using an accounting identification of 97X4930 5CBX 001 2620 S33189. The contractor is designated as a Women-Owned Small Business and affirmed small business status, triggering compliance with applicable socioeconomic reporting obligations. All shipments must adhere to strict packaging and marking requirements: packages must be transported by the fastest traceable means, explicitly excluding parcel post, and must be fully marked with BSM (Barcoded Shipping Marking) and a Tracking Control Number. Although no formal MIL-STD is cited, the BSM requirement strongly implies compliance with MIL-STD-129. Inspection and acceptance occur at the destination by government representatives, and the contract is classified as a DPAS-rated order under 15 CFR 700, indicating priority performance obligations. The contracting officer, Jeffrey Dixius, and administrative contact Tiffany Lynn manage all post-award matters from DLA Land and Maritime in Columbus, Ohio, with no Contracting Officer’s Representative designated. No option periods, extended quantities, or additional line items are included; this is a single, non-modifiable delivery order with zero variance allowable from the quoted quantity and price.
