The contract solicitation SPE7MX-26-R-X046 seeks BOOT, DUST AND MOIST, identified by NSN 5930-01-523-1780, under FAR Part 12 commercial item procedures as a firm-fixed-price indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contract with a minimum order value of $446.52 and a maximum ceiling of $696,600.00. Proposals must be submitted by August 24, 2026, via DIBBS or email to the contracting officer, with strict adherence to the Uniform Contract Format and the referenced Section L and M tailorable templates. Delivery must occur within 72 days of order placement, with FOB ORIGIN and inspection/acceptance at DESTINATION, where the Government will verify conformity to the exact part number, absence of corrosion or reconditioning, correct packaging, and alignment with submitted samples. Packaging must strictly comply with MIL-STD-2073-1E, using preservation method 31 (CLNG/DRY:1), with no external materials or cushioning, and unit containers must hold exactly 1,000 items per intermediate container under pack code U, palletized per RP001. Marking must follow MIL-STD-129, including human-readable text and machine-readable barcodes, with special labeling for test samples indicating “Product Verification Test Samples - Do Not Post to Stock” alongside the contract and lot numbers. All items must be traceable to approved sources with valid CAGE codes and full authenticity documentation, with no substitutes unless explicitly authorized. Pricing is the most critical evaluation factor, followed equally by past performance, proposed delivery, and small business participation, with award based on best value through trade-off rather than lowest price technically acceptable. Offerors must hold a valid CMMC certification, confirm compliance with 32 CFR Part 170, disclose any foreign ownership or tax delinquency, and provide a UEI and size status certification. Invoices must be submitted electronically via EDI under DLA Procurement Note L02, with payment processed through DLA Land and Maritime at the specified Columbus, OH remittance address. The contract includes an option to extend the term by up to 60 days and requires no government-provided funding details until after award, with the contracting officer and technical representative assignments pending.
