The order is also DPAS rated, mandating priority performance under 15 CFR Part 700. Packaging and marking must comply with standard DoD logistics practices, including labeling with contract identifiers and “MARKFOR” fields, though specific MIL-STD standards like MIL-STD-129 or MIL-STD-2073 are not explicitly cited. Inspection and acceptance occur at the destination point by an authorized government representative. Payment will be processed through the Defense Finance and Accounting Service in Columbus, Ohio, using electronic mechanisms consistent with DLA’s automated systems. The contracting officer is Jeffrey Dixius, with post-award support coordinated by Tiffany Lynn. No formal evaluation factors, additional clauses beyond Fast Pay, or special requirements were documented beyond the basic supply delivery terms.
