CASE, PHOTOGRAPHIC EQUIPMENT

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded Delivery Order SPE8EN26F3380 to PELICAN PRODUCTS, INC. (CAGE 65442) on July 28, 2026, under the basic contract SPE8EN26D0001, for the procurement of photographic equipment cases under NSN 6760014230693 at a total price of $28.67. This order operates within the framework of a firm fixed-price indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract with a base period of one year and four one-year options, carrying a maximum ceiling value of $24,300,000 across all periods, though actual obligations will depend on future task order issuances. The contract requires delivery of the item FOB origin, with inspection and acceptance occurring at the destination, and mandates compliance with MIL-STD-129 for all packaging and labeling, including prominent external markings stating “Product Verification Test Samples – Do Not Post to Stock” along with the contract number and lot/item number. Interior packaging must include hard copies of the receiving report, contract, material certifications, process operation sheets, and manufacturing drawings. Invoicing is exclusively through the Wide Area WorkFlow (WAWF) system, and all performance adheres to specified Federal Acquisition Regulation clauses addressing commercial items, small business subcontracting, employment equity, trafficking in persons, sustainable procurement, cybersecurity, and the prohibition of equipment from certain foreign entities. The contract incorporates multiple FAR and DFARS clauses including those for accelerating payments to small business subcontractors, child labor protections, equal opportunity, paid sick leave, and restrictions on covered telecommunications and software. No evaluation factors, weights, or award methodology beyond price and technical acceptability are explicitly stated, but the inclusion of deviation clauses and socioeconomic requirements suggests a compliance-driven award. The seller must affirm representations regarding small business status, UEI and CAGE codes, and foreign ownership, while also certifying adherence to cybersecurity protocols, controlled information handling, and the prohibition of prohibited equipment or services under current national security directives. Payment processing is managed electronically via Department of Defense Activity Address Codes, and the contract requires adherence to sustainable product standards under the USDA BioPreferred® and EPA SNAP programs, as well as restrictions on hexavalent chromium and other hazardous substances.
