CABLE ASSEMBLY, SPEC

The contract award SPE4A626PR433 to American Devices, Inc. (CAGE 3T8J4) under solicitation SPE4A6-26-Q-0896 is for a single line item: 38 units of a cable assembly identified by NSN 6150015645496, with a delivery period of 120 days after award, targeting completion by August 21, 2026. Delivery is FOB destination to the DLA Distribution facility in New Cumberland, Pennsylvania, with inspection and acceptance occurring at the contractor’s origin site. Packaging and marking must strictly conform to MIL-STD-2073-1E and MIL-STD-129, including specific unit container, packaging code, and wrap material requirements, alongside mandatory barcoding and labeling per government standards. The contract requires full compliance with NIST SP 800-171 for safeguarding covered defense information, with mandatory cyber incident reporting under DFARS 252.204-7012, and flow-down of these cybersecurity requirements to all subcontractors, who must also demonstrate recent NIST assessments. The contract incorporates a comprehensive set of FAR and DFARS clauses covering contract administration, quality assurance, labor compliance, and ethical obligations, including prohibitions on trafficking in persons, child labor, hexavalent chromium, and confidential agreements that restrict government reporting. Quality systems must meet ISO 9001:2015, and inspection authority is reserved entirely to the Government. Payment is mandated through the WAWF system using electronic invoicing formats, with no physical remit-to addresses or detailed accounting codes provided. The award uses a best-value trade-off methodology, placing significant emphasis on past performance—particularly SPRS assessments, quality history, and delivery reliability—which is weighed as approximately equal to cost or price. While the total contract value is not publicly stated in the available documentation, the absence of unit pricing in the contract line item prevents cost estimation. Compliance with socioeconomic representations, Unique Entity Identifier (UEI), and CAGE code validation is required, though no specific affirmations from the awardee are disclosed. The contracting office is the DLA Aviation ASC Commodities Division, with Phillip Jones as the primary point of contact.
