The item is identified by NSN 8020-00-061-2210, with a requirement for four packs, to be delivered FOB origin to the designated receiving warehouse in Tracy, California, within 167 days of order receipt, with an original delivery target of November 29, 2026, and a need-by ship date of February 1, 2027. Inspection and acceptance occur at the destination, governed by FAR 52.246-1, and compliance with the DLA Master List of Technical and Quality Requirements is mandatory, superseding ASTM D3951 and MIL-STD-129 for packaging, marking, and palletization. All packaging must adhere to MIL-STD-129 and RP001, and hazardous materials require labeling per the Hazard Communication Standard. Safety Data Sheets must be submitted prior to award, as failure to do so renders an offeror nonresponsible. The solicitation is not a small business set-aside but incorporates HUBZone price evaluation preference, and automated award is possible if first article testing is not required. The contract mandates full compliance with numerous FAR and DFARS clauses, including those related to cybersecurity, trafficking, employment verification, sustainable products, export control, and the Berry Amendment, with deviations applied to several clauses through 2026 amendments. Suppliers must submit quotations via DIBBS by August 17, 2026, maintain active SAM registration, register with DLA’s AMPS system to access the Vendor Shipment Module, and use WAWF for electronic invoicing and receiving reports. Payment will be processed electronically, with detailed routing identifiers to be specified in the resulting award.
