BOLT, SHEAR

The contract pertains to the procurement of 223 shear bolts under NSN 5306-01-119-0437, issued as a competitive solicitation through DLA Aviation under solicitation number SPE4A7-26-T-621S, with a response deadline of August 13, 2026, and an award date expected to commence a 93-day performance period culminating in delivery by March 20, 2027. The items must be delivered FOB Origin to DLA Distribution Jacksonville, Florida, with inspection and acceptance occurring at the point of origin, requiring the contractor to maintain a quality management system compliant with ISO 9001:2015. Packaging and labeling must adhere to ASTM D3951, MIL-STD-129, MIL-STD-130N, and DLA-specific RP001 requirements, including palletization, moisture and corrosion protection, and durable barcoding, though Item Unique Identification is waived per DFARS clause 252.211-7003(c)(1)(i). Hazardous materials must be labeled in accordance with OSHA’s Hazard Communication Standard and applicable federal statutes, with pre-award submission of hazard labels and MSDS required for non-exempt items. The solicitation applies deviation 2026-00038 to multiple FAR clauses including those on equal opportunity, trafficking in persons, system for award management maintenance, and simplified acquisition terms, while DFARS clauses govern subcontracting, transportation by sea, and safety notification protocols. Offerors must represent their small business status and socioeconomic certifications including HUBZone, 8(a), SDVOSB, WOSB, and EDWOSB, and if acting as a nonmanufacturer, meet specified size thresholds. All proposals must be submitted electronically via DIBBS, with invoicing mandated through WAWF, and contract administration handled by DLA with payment routed using DoDAAC codes; however, specific contract type, total value, and evaluation factors are not disclosed, indicating a low-dollar, non-complex acquisition likely governed by LPTA principles.
