BLOCK AND TACKLE

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded a firm fixed-price contract to GI CORPORATION (CAGE 9RU99) under solicitation SPE8EE-26-Q-0304 for the procurement of one unit of a Block and Tackle identified by NSN 7540-01-152-8070 and manufacturer part number 9840893 from HIAB USA INC. Although the original line item carried a unit price of $2,142.75, it was subsequently canceled with a final value of $0.00, leaving no active pricing or estimated contract value in the documentation. The requirement is strictly for exact product conformance, with award based on technical precision rather than cost competitiveness, making it a best-value trade-off rather than an LPTA procurement. Performance is governed by stringent packaging and marking standards, mandating compliance with ASTM D3951, MIL-STD-129 for labeling and barcoding, and DLA’s RP001 packaging guidelines, with the DLA Master List of Technical and Quality Requirements taking precedence over all other standards. Delivery is to occur at destination, with government acceptance responsibility, and invoicing must be submitted electronically via WAWF under DFARS 252.232-7006, with payment administered through DLA Troop Support in Philadelphia. Contract administration is managed by Contracting Officer Chase Quigley, with no designated COR or COTR assigned. The contract incorporates a comprehensive set of Federal Acquisition Regulation clauses addressing cybersecurity (including NIST SP 800-171 and CUI requirements), whistleblowing protections, prohibitions on products from Kaspersky, ByteDance, and other restricted entities, labor standards such as paid sick leave and minimum wage compliance, veteran and disability employment obligations, trafficking in persons, and small business utilization. Packaging, labeling, and handling must fully align with defense logistics standards, and the contractor is subject to ongoing compliance with representations and certifications through SAM.gov, particularly regarding small business status under NAICS 332215. No attachments or special contract requirements beyond standard regulatory clauses are identified in the documentation.
