The award was issued on July 30, 2026, with a delivery date set for August 6, 2026, and performance is FOB origin from the contractor’s facility in Greenville, North Carolina, with final delivery to Malta, Montana. The transaction is structured as a simplified acquisition under fast payment procedures per FAR 52.213-1 and employs electronic invoice submission in accordance with DFARS 252.232-7003, requiring EDI transmission to the payment office in Columbus, Ohio, under payment code SL4701.

The contractor is certified as a Women-Owned Small Business, triggering compliance with FAR 52.219-29 and requiring a small business subcontracting plan under FAR 52.219-28. The order is rated under the Defense Priorities and Allocations System per 15 CFR 700, mandating priority performance. Inspection and acceptance occur at the destination by the government, and the procurement is inferred to follow a Low Price Technically Acceptable evaluation approach due to the minimal value, commoditized nature of the item, and absence of technical evaluation criteria. Modifications to the base contract include several administrative updates, and the ordering activity is managed by DLA Land and Maritime, with Jeffrey Dixius as the contracting officer and Tiffany Lynn as the administrative contact. No formal Section I clauses or Section J attachments were identified, indicating this is a streamlined, low-dollar purchase order issued under an indefinite delivery vehicle.
