CABLE ASSEMBLY, SPEC

The Defense Logistics Agency has awarded a firm-fixed-price contract to PHILLIP CABLE MANUFACTURING, INC. (CAGE 6ZSR8) for the procurement of a cable assembly and a contractor first article test, with a total contract value of $4,692.75. The award, issued under solicitation SPE4A7-26-T-126J and officially posted on July 20, 2026, is classified as a simplified acquisition under NAICS code 335931 and is designated for a small business concern. Performance is split between the contractor’s facility in Norcross, Georgia, where manufacturing, inspection, and first article testing occur, and the final delivery point at Camp Kinser, Japan, under FOB origin terms, meaning the contractor bears all freight costs and assumes risk until goods reach the origin point. The first article test must be submitted within 225 days of award, followed by a 30-day government evaluation period, with final production delivery due within 150 days after approval, resulting in an estimated total performance period of 405 days, with a firm delivery date of March 2, 2027. The contract mandates compliance with extensive military and federal standards, including MIL-STD-2073-1E for packaging and preservation, MIL-STD-129 for marking and barcoding, and ISO 9001:2015 for quality management. Inspection and acceptance occur at the source for initial production, but the government will conduct final acceptance at destination for the first article test. The contractor must adhere to cybersecurity controls under CMMC Level 1 or 2, safeguard government information in accordance with FAR 52.204-21 and 252.204-7018, and comply with prohibitions on acquiring equipment or services from designated foreign entities, including Kaspersky Lab and ByteDance. All invoicing must be submitted via the Wide Area WorkFlow (WAWF) system, and the contractor is bound by multiple DFARS and FAR clauses covering subcontractor management, counterfeit part avoidance, safety reporting, export control, and supply chain security. The contract incorporates no options and carries no maximum value beyond the two listed line items, with payment tied to successful first article approval and delivery in full compliance with all technical, labeling, and documentation requirements.
