BLADE, WINDSHIELD WIPER

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded a delivery order under contract SPE7LX21D0087 to Atlantic Diving Supply, Inc. (CAGE 1CAY9), a small business designated as both a Women-Owned Small Business and a HUBZone Small Business, for a single line item: one windshield wiper blade (NSN 2540014554896) at a unit price of $49.59. Although the total delivery order amount is nominal, the underlying contract has a total estimated value ranging from $91.6 million to $229 million over a potential ten-year period, inclusive of a four-year base period and three optional two-year extensions. The contract, a fixed-price vehicle with economic price adjustment, was established via a Request for Proposal and is administered by DLA Land and Maritime with award and payment responsibilities handled through the Wide Area Workflow system, with invoices processed via the designated remit-to address in Columbus, Ohio. The contractor is subject to a suite of Federal Acquisition Regulation and Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement clauses, including mandatory compliance with NIST SP 800-171 for cybersecurity assessments of systems handling Controlled Unclassified Information, with assessment data required to be reported via the Supplier Performance Risk System, and a prohibition on acquiring covered telecommunications equipment. Packaging and shipping instructions specify delivery must occur by the fastest traceable means, excluding parcel post, with shipments labeled with specific Transportation Control Numbers and Receiving and Dispatching Destination codes, and marked with required DoDAACs. Inspection and acceptance may occur at origin or destination per the Delivery Order’s Place of Inspection Code, with the Government retaining responsibility for evaluation. Despite the contract’s extensive regulatory framework and potential scale, minimal detail is provided on packaging standards, preservation methods, barcoding, or specific inspection criteria beyond cybersecurity compliance, and no attachments or full pricing schedules are included in the accessible documentation, relying on referenced enclosures for complete operational context.
