The order, issued under the base contract SPE7M1-17-D-0001 and its modifications, requires delivery by July 24, 2026, to Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri, with FOB origin terms meaning the government assumes responsibility for transportation and risk from the contractor’s origin in Greenville, North Carolina.

Packaging and labeling must comply with DoD freight standards, including inclusion of the Transaction Control Number W5K9WU61980004 and adherence to prohibited shipping methods—parcel post is expressly forbidden, and shipments must proceed via the fastest traceable means. The contract is designated as a rated order under DPAS (15 CFR 700), mandating priority performance and compliance with defense allocation requirements. The contractor’s small business and woman-owned status trigger relevant federal reporting obligations under the WOSB program and FAR Part 19. No technical specifications, MIL-STDs, or detailed inspection criteria are explicitly provided beyond general conformity to contract requirements, with acceptance performed by the government at the delivery point. Contract administration is managed by Jeffrey Dixius, with administrative support provided by DLA Land and Maritime, and all invoicing and payment processing flows through DEF FIN AND ACCOUNTING SVC (SL4701) using the appropriation code BX: 97X4930 5CBX 001 2620 S33189.
