BOLT, SHOULDER

The contract solicitation SPE4A6-26-T-09XP is for the procurement of 57 units of BOLT, SHOULDER, identified by NSN 5306-00-067-9746, to be delivered FOB destination to Robins AFB, GA, with an 85-day anticipated delivery window. The solicitation is governed by stringent technical and quality requirements as outlined in the DLA Master List of Technical and Quality Requirements, with specific mandates for physical item marking per RQ017, adherence to MIL-STD-129 for packaging and barcoding, and compliance with DLA Packaging Requirements for Procurement (RP001). The item is subject to export controls under ITAR or EAR, requiring contractors to hold DLA-approved access authorization, complete mandatory training on handling controlled technical data, and comply with DFARS 252.225-7048. The contract incorporates multiple cybersecurity and information safeguarding clauses, including 252.204-7012 and 252.240-7997, which enforce NIST SP 800-171 controls and require CMMC Level 2 compliance for handling covered defense information. Inspection and acceptance are conducted by the Government at the destination under FAR 52.246-2, with sampling required to meet zero-defect standards per MIL-STD-1916 and quality systems aligned with AS9003 or ISO 9001. The solicitation mandates electronic submission through DIBBS by August 7, 2026, and payment must be processed via WAWF using appropriate electronic documentation. Contractors must also comply with clauses addressing trafficking in persons, employment eligibility verification, whistleblower protections, limitations on former DoD official compensation, and prohibitions on restricted telecommunications equipment. Small business, HUBZone, and socioeconomic certifications are required for eligibility, though the award mechanism is inferred to be LPTA due to the lack of trade-off evaluation factors and emphasis on price alongside technical acceptability. All deliverables must be accompanied by full compliance documentation, including hazmat labeling per 29 CFR 1910.1200, and no packaging or marking deviations are permitted without explicit authorization.
