CABLE ASSEMBLY, SPEC

The contract solicitation SPE4A6-26-T-14TJ seeks a single cable assembly identified by NSN 5995-01-336-6934 for delivery to Fort Riley, Kansas, with a strict five-day ADO timeline beginning June 10, 2026. The item must be manufactured in strict compliance with Technical Data Package Rev A Gen 2 and referenced drawings NR 80063 A3014035 and A3013589, incorporating all technical and quality requirements listed under 'R' or 'I' numbers in the DLA Master List of Technical and Quality Requirements. The procurement applies FAR and DFARS clauses governing cybersecurity, export control, and defense information safeguards, including mandatory adherence to NIST SP 800-171 requirements and DFARS 252.225-7048 for export-controlled technical data subject to ITAR or EAR, which restricts access to contractors approved under the US/Canada Joint Certification Program, having completed required DLA export control training and questionnaire. The cable assembly must be produced without additive manufacturing, and any offer including AM components is automatically disqualified. Packaging and marking must conform to MIL-STD-2073-1E and MIL-STD-129, with special shipping codes indicating no special marking, and palletization governed by DLA packaging standards. Sampling and inspection follow MIL-STD-1916 or ASQ H1331 with zero non-conformance acceptance thresholds for critical and major attributes unless otherwise specified; destination inspection is required under FAR 52.246-2. All offers must be submitted electronically via DIBBS by August 18, 2026, with payment processed through the Wide Area Workflow system. Offerors must complete representations regarding small business status, HUBZone eligibility, cybersecurity compliance, and hazardous material handling, including submission of Safety Data Sheets and hazard labels as specified. FOB Origin pricing is required despite FDT program application, and compliance with prohibitions on hexavalent chromium, toxic materials, and procurement from Chinese military companies is mandatory. Failure to meet any pass/fail gate—JCP certification, SAM validation, Safety Data Sheet submission, or AM prohibition—results in immediate ineligibility, and automated award is possible for compliant offers.
