BRACKET, EYE, NONROTA

The contract calls for the procurement of one unit of a nonrotating eye bracket identified by NSN 3040-01-330-6125, with delivery required within ten days of order award, FOB origin, and destination inspection and acceptance. The item must be packaged in accordance with ASTM D3951, but all technical and quality requirements from the DLA Master List of Technical and Quality Requirements take precedence, including those marked with an 'R' or 'I' number. Packaging and marking must strictly follow MIL-STD-129, and palletization must comply with RP001: DLA Packaging Requirements for Procurement. The shipment must be sent via the fastest traceable means, excluding parcel post, to the specified delivery point at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, with a required shipment date of 555 and a project code of TP 2. The contract incorporates numerous FAR and DFARS clauses, including requirements for safeguarding covered defense information and cyber incident reporting, NIST SP 800-171 assessments, restrictions on covered telecommunications equipment, prohibitions on hexavalent chromium and hazardous material disposal, Buy American Act compliance above the micro-purchase threshold, and mandatory whistleblower protections. A Safety Data Sheet must be submitted prior to award, or the offeror will be deemed nonresponsible. The solicitation is a small business set-aside, may qualify for automated award, and uses the HUBZone price evaluation preference unless waived. All quotations must be submitted via DIBBS by August 21, 2026, and the vendor must be registered in SAM with accurate small business status and telecommunications representations. Payment will be processed through WAWF, requiring electronic submission of both an invoice and receiving report unless an exception applies. Contractors must register with DLA’s AMPS system within two months to access VSM and ship to DLA, and failure to comply will prevent shipment. The contract includes clauses related to whistleblower rights, supply chain transparency, litigation support disclosure, and limitations on mandatory arbitration agreements. The unit of issue is each, with no variance allowed in quantity, and the government maintains the right to remove its identification from nonaccepted supplies.
