The order is classified as a small business set-aside with the contractor self-certifying as a Women-Owned Small Business.

Compliance with referenced contract modifications—SPE7M1-17-D-0001P00014, P00020, P00021, and P00032—is required for packaging and identification standards. Fast Pay provisions under FAR 52.213-1 apply, enabling payment within 15 days of invoice receipt, and invoices must be submitted electronically through systems consistent with DFARS 252.232-7003, implying use of Wide Area Workflow.
