Inspection and formal acceptance occur at the destination, and the contractor must mark all packaging and documentation with the contract identifiers from Blocks 1 and 2, including the manufacturer’s CAGE code and part number, though no specific MIL-STD packaging or marking standards are cited. The order is rated under DPAS (DO-C9), granting it defense priority status, and the awardee is certified as a small disadvantaged women-owned business with ongoing compliance obligations under FAR Part 19 and SAM.gov. Payment will be processed by the Defense Finance and Accounting Service to the remit address in Columbus, Ohio, using the appropriation code 97X4930 5CBX 001 2620 S33189. The contracting officer is Jeffrey Dixius, with Tiffany Lynn designated as the administrative point of contact; no COR or COTR is assigned.
