CABLE ASSEMBLY, SPECIAL PURPOSE, ELECTRICA

This contract, issued by the Defense Logistics Agency’s ASC Commodities Division under solicitation SPE4A6-26-R-XB89, is a small business set-aside for the procurement of 15 special-purpose electrical cable assemblies with NSN 6150-01-661-8084. The contract is structured as an indefinite-delivery purchase order with a total ceiling value of $350,000 and requires delivery within 225 days after award, following an event-driven schedule that includes preliminary acceptance testing at 105 days, a 15-day evaluation period, and production delivery at 105 days after lot approval. Inspection and acceptance occur at the contractor’s origin facility, while the FOB point is defined as destination, meaning title and risk transfer upon delivery to government stock locations within the Continental United States. The technical and quality requirements are governed by the DLA Master List of Technical and Quality Requirements, with additional compliance mandated under MIL-STD-2073-1E for packaging and preservation, MIL-STD-129 for marking and barcoding, and SAE AS9100 for quality management systems. The contractor must adhere to strict export controls under DFARS 252.225-7048, as the item and any associated technical data are subject to ITAR or EAR, restricting access to only those firms certified under the US/Canada Joint Certification Program, trained in DOD export handling, and approved by DLA. Packaging must meet RP001 standards, include DD Form 250 or WAWF receiving reports as packing lists, and bear specific labeling indicating “Product Verification Test Samples – Do Not Post to Stock.” The contract requires full compliance with cybersecurity safeguards under 252.204-7012, prohibition on covered defense telecommunications equipment, and adherence to prevailing wage and paid sick leave provisions under Executive Orders 14026 and 13706, with flow-down obligations to subcontractors. Invoicing must be submitted exclusively through WAWF, and payment processing follows standard DoDAAC-based accounting procedures. Proposals must be submitted electronically via DIBBS, with past performance — particularly historical quality and on-time delivery metrics — carrying significantly more weight than cost in the trade-off evaluation process. The contractor must maintain supply chain traceability, avoid prohibited sources such as Xinjiang-manufactured goods or foreign entities linked
