CATHETER AND NEEDLE

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded CENMED ENTERPRISES INC CAGE 1WAS9 a fixed-price contract for 40 units of intravenous catheter and needle NSN 6515016267948 under solicitation SPE2DS-26-T-078Y, with an award date of July 1, 2026, and a total contract value of $940.00. Deliveries are required FOB destination to Fort Bragg North Carolina, with a delivery window of 20 days after order placement and a strict 60-month non-extendable shelf life, no more than nine months of which may elapse between manufacture and delivery. Packaging must comply with DLA RP001 and ASTM D3951, with labeling governed by Medical Marking Standard No. 1, which supersedes MIL-STD-129 for medical items except when radioactive materials are involved. All shipments must use commercial-grade export packaging and palletization, and traceability is ensured through compliance with marking and labeling standards. The contract mandates electronic invoicing exclusively through Wide Area WorkFlow, with payment processed via the Pay Official DoDAAC, and requires adherence to numerous DFARS and FAR clauses addressing cybersecurity safeguarding, hazardous material handling, export control, prohibited sourcing from communist Chinese military companies, and whistleblower rights. The contractor must submit Safety Data Sheets prior to award for any hazardous materials and flow down all applicable clauses to subcontractors regardless of value. The item is subject to inspection and acceptance at the destination by government personnel, and compliance with NIST SP 800-171 and safeguarding of covered defense information is required. The contract includes clauses related to contractor compensation restrictions, cyber incident reporting, limitation on use of covered telecommunications equipment, and requirements for small business subcontractor payment acceleration. Although pricing data in Section B is incomplete, the contract is issued under simplified acquisition procedures, with clause 52.213-4 governing terms and Alternate I of 52.216-1 indicating a firm-fixed-price contract type. The award was likely made under a sole-source or automated process given the lack of competition details, and the contractor must maintain current UEI and CAGE code registration, with no options or modifications specified at this time.
