The Defense Logistics Agency awarded Firebird Optics LLC a contract for the procurement of 20 mL bottles of CALIBRATING OIL, STANDARD (STA) under solicitation SPE4A6-26-T-54T4, with a total contract value of $1,425.00 and an award date of July 30, 2026. Delivery is required to the Ministry of Defense of Israel at Latzad Metosim, with FOB Origin terms meaning title and risk of loss transfer upon shipment from the contractor’s facility. The contract mandates strict adherence to MIL-STD-2073-1E for packaging and MIL-STD-129 for labeling, including a 15-month non-extendable Type I shelf life with HM CLNG/DRY preservation and specific hazard communication compliance per OSHA and IP025 standards. Safety Data Sheets and hazard labels must be approved prior to award, and all items must comply with the DLA Master List of Technical and Quality Requirements, incorporating referenced standards such as MIL-STD-1916 for sampling and ASQ Z1.4 for quality inspection at AQL levels ranging from 0.1 to 4.0 depending on defect severity. The contractor must apply preservation and marking codes consistent with ZZZ, ZZ and Z designations where specified, and maintain compliance with cybersecurity requirements including NIST SP 800-171 and safeguarding of covered defense information as outlined in FAR and DFARS clauses. The contract includes a suite of compliance and administrative clauses under FAR and DFARS requiring adherence to whistleblower protections, employment eligibility verification, prohibitions on forced labor and covered telecommunications equipment, and reporting obligations for cyber incidents. Invoicing is mandated through WAWF systems only, with no alternative methods permitted, and payment administration relies on DoDAACs not fully disclosed in the public record. The contractor must complete all representations under K including small business status, UEI and CAGE certification, and affirmative disclosures if providing covered defense telecommunications systems. Although the contract type remains unspecified in the template, deviations exist for clauses related to SAM maintenance, equal opportunity, trafficking in persons, sustainable procurement, and hazardous materials labeling. No formal evaluation factors, weights, or award methodology are documented, suggesting a simplified acquisition under commercial or non-commercial simplified procedures.
