Bar-coding is required for automated logistics tracking. The contract incorporates numerous FAR and DFARS clauses covering procurement compliance, employment equity, trafficking in persons, hazardous materials disclosure, whistleblower rights, government work product control, data disclosure restrictions, and compensation rules for former DoD officials. Invoicing must be performed through WAWF, and the contractor must maintain a current UEI and CAGE code, with representations regarding small business status, socioeconomic categories, or joint venture participation required. The contract type is unspecified, though the inclusion of an alternate contract type clause suggests potential flexibility, and the award basis is likely lowest price technically acceptable, given the nature of the acquisition. No pricing data is provided in the CLIN, and the total value remains unspecified. All offers must be submitted electronically via the DIBBS
