BRACKET, MOUNTING

The contract solicitation SPE7L1-26-T-534C seeks 26 mounting brackets identified by NSN 5340-01-697-2455 under a simplified acquisition process with a 170-day delivery timeline after order placement. The item must be delivered FOB origin to the designated receiving location in Tracy, California, and is subject to stringent technical, packaging, and environmental compliance requirements. The contractor must adhere to MIL-STD-2073-1E for packaging and preservation, MIL-STD-129 for marking, and MIL-STD-130N for permanent identification of U.S. military property. Importantly, the use of Class I ozone-depleting chemicals is strictly prohibited, and any substitute chemicals require prior approval unless authorized by specification. Packaging must follow DLA’s RP001 requirements, and all non-accepted supplies must have government identifiers removed per RQ011. The contracting office requires complete data packages for both the approved and alternate parts, and all hazardous materials must be labeled in accordance with OSHA’s Hazard Communication Standard. Contractual obligations are reinforced by numerous FAR and DFARS clauses, including those related to employment eligibility, cybersecurity compliance with NIST SP 800-171, sustainable products, trafficking in persons, and whistleblower protections. The contract type remains undefined pending insertion by the contracting officer, but the procurement likely follows an LPTA approach given the focus on strict technical compliance over trade-offs. Offers must be submitted electronically via the DIBBS portal by May 22, 2026, and invoicing post-award must be processed through WAWF. Offerors are required to maintain current SAM.gov registration, provide a UEI and CAGE code, and affirm small business or socioeconomic status if applicable, with potential price evaluations favoring HUBZone and other small business categories. Compliance with cybersecurity requirements and accurate representation of business status are mandatory and will impact award consideration, although no explicit weighting or scoring method is disclosed.
