The Defense Logistics Agency awarded Contract SPE4A625PN772 to K5 DEFENSE LLC (CAGE 93M32) for the supply of Carbon Dioxide designated by NSN 6830-01-706-6465, with the contract modification effective April 18, 2025. The original line item called for 41 cylinders of Carbon Dioxide at a unit price of $5104.00, totaling $4,264.00, but this delivery was subsequently canceled due to the contractor’s failure to meet the December 23, 2025 delivery deadline, resulting in a revised contract value of $0.00. The award was processed under simplified acquisition procedures per FAR 13.302-4(b) and FAR 13.004(c), with authority for the modification grounded in FAR 43.203(b) and FAR 43.103(b). The contracting officer overseeing the action is Nicholas Meads of DLA Aviation, ASC Commodities Division in Richmond, VA, with no designated Contracting Officer’s Representative or technical representative listed. The place of performance is not explicitly defined in the contract documents, though the contractor’s address in Doral, FL, is provided; no FOB terms, delivery location, or inspection acceptance criteria are specified. No packaging, marking, or preservation requirements citing MIL-STD-129, MIL-STD-2073, or MIL-STD-130 are included, and barcoding or labeling standards are not addressed. The contract does not reference any socioeconomic certifications, small business status, subcontracting plans, or affirmative representations required under FAR 52.2 subparts. No evaluation factors, contract type (e.g., FFP or IDIQ), payment office details, accounting codes, invoicing methods, or attachments are documented. The contract administration section lacks information on remittance procedures, AAC/TAS/ACRN codes, or contract period, and there is no indication of options, security requirements, key personnel, or organizational conflict of interest provisions. The award notice was posted on DIBBS on July 15, 2026, but no formal period of performance, delivery schedule, or performance metrics remain active due to the cancellation of the sole CLIN.
