CARABINER

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded a delivery order under contract SPE8EJ21D0036 to Noble Supply & Logistics, LLC (CAGE 1HEN9), a small disadvantaged and women-owned small business, for the procurement of ten carabiners with NSN 4240012954305 at a total value of $161.40. The order, issued as SPE8EJ26F039C on July 20, 2026, requires delivery by November 17, 2026, to Ellsworth Air Force Base in South Dakota under FOB destination terms, meaning the contractor bears all transportation costs and risks until the items reach the destination. The contract specifies strict packaging and marking requirements, mandating that all shipments be sent via traceable means with parcel post prohibited, and all documents and packages must be clearly marked with both the base contract number and the delivery order number. Inspection and acceptance are conducted by government representatives at the delivery point, with no variance permitted in quantity. Invoicing must be processed electronically through EDI, with payment handled by the Defense Finance and Accounting Service in Columbus, Ohio, using payment code SL4701. The contractor is subject to DPAS priorities under 15 CFR 700, reinforcing the order’s urgency and compliance obligations. Point of contact for procurement oversight is John Cuorato, with technical oversight provided by Stefanie Mason. The solicitation was issued under NAICS code 423710, and the award reflects a simplified acquisition procedure consistent with a low-value, commercial item purchase likely conducted under a lowest price technically acceptable methodology. No specific technical specifications or MIL-STDs are cited beyond basic identification and traceability requirements, and while the base contract contains broader terms, this delivery order includes only the essential logistical, financial, and compliance details necessary for execution.
