CABLE ASSEMBLY, SPEC

The contract mandates the procurement of a single cable assembly identified by NSN 5995-01-734-9866 under a firm fixed price structure with no variance allowed in quantity; delivery is required within seven days after receipt of order at the designated destination, specifically the USS Vermont SSN 792, with FOB Origin terms placing transportation responsibility on the contractor. Strict adherence to MIL-STD-2073-1E for packaging and MIL-STD-129 for marking is required, with all packaging conforming to DLA requirements including the prohibition of mercury or mercury compounds in preservation and packaging materials except in designated functional components such as batteries, fluorescent lamps, sensors, and NAVSEA-specified reagents, which must also be shock-proof and contain a secondary containment boundary per NAVSEA 5100-003D. Sampling and inspection follow MIL-STD-1916 or ASQ H1331 Table 1 with zero non-conformances required in sampling unless otherwise specified, and attributes are to be classified with verification levels VII, IV, and II corresponding to AQLs of 0.1, 1.0, and 4.0 respectively; government inspection and acceptance occur at destination. The contract incorporates extensive cybersecurity and supply chain safeguards, including clauses mandating safeguarding of covered defense information, prohibition of covered telecommunications equipment, counterfeit part detection, export control compliance, and restrictions on magnets, tantalum, and tungsten. Flow-down requirements apply to subcontractors for antiterrorism training, whistleblower protections, and supply chain risk mitigation. Contractors must comply with DPAS prioritization, maintain current SAM registration, use WAWF for electronic invoicing and receiving reports, and submit UEI and CAGE codes if declaring non-compliance with certain procurement prohibitions. Past performance carries the greatest weight in award evaluation, with non-price factors and cost given approximately equal importance under a trade-off methodology. All technical and quality requirements referenced by R or I numbers are governed by the DLA Master List, and mercury use is strictly controlled with specific exceptions clearly outlined.
