BULKHEAD, AIRCRAFT

The Boeing Company has been awarded a firm-fixed-price delivery order under the Basic Ordering Agreement SPRPA1-19-D-001U for the procurement of two aircraft bulkheads, NSN 1560-01-727-9907, at a total value of $5,782.28, with award issued on July 15, 2026. The item is classified as a critical application component with a Criticality C designation, requiring strict adherence to technical and quality standards including MIL-STD-1916 for sampling, MIL-STD-2073-1E for packaging, and MIL-STD-129 for marking, with preservation following RP003 and pack code U. Delivery is due by May 1, 2028, under FOB origin terms, with inspection and acceptance occurring at the contractor's facility in Tukwila, WA, and final delivery to GXO Logistics in Goodyear, AZ. The order is DPAS-rated under 15 CFR 700, necessitating priority performance and compliance with defense priorities. The awardee is a small business, specifically identified as a Small Disadvantaged Business and Women-Owned Small Business, triggering associated reporting obligations under FAR 19.15 and requiring valid SAM.gov certification. Supply chain traceability must be retained for five years per RQ018 and DLAD C03, and an FAA Airworthiness Certificate must be submitted, though Unique Item Identification (UID) is exempted per RQ019. Invoicing must comply with DFARS 252.232-7003, submitted electronically via WAWF to the Defense Finance and Accounting Service in Columbus, OH. Contract administration is managed by DCMA Fixed Wing Puget Sound, with ordering officer Annette Pruett and administrative contact Jennifer Bridy overseeing performance. The contract contains no options, modifications, or cost-reimbursable elements, and award was likely based on a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable approach due to the simplified nature and low dollar value.
