The contract, awarded on July 21, 2026, to Alloy Sling Chains, LLC (CAGE 7S918), is a fixed-price delivery order under the indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity vehicle SPE7L126D61HA, issued by the Defense Logistics Agency. The total price of $5,372.00 covers the delivery of 68 chains, identified by NSN 4010012297769 and part number 1340930, with delivery required to the destination at Tracy, California, within 120 days of order placement, and no later than November 18, 2026. Title transfers at the contractor’s origin in East Hazel Crest, Illinois, with the government assuming all transportation costs and responsibilities FOB origin. Packaging must strictly adhere to MIL-STD-2073-1E using specified codes for preservation, unit containers, and intermediate packaging, while marking and labeling must conform to MIL-STD-129, including barcoding and compliance with the Hazard Communication Standard (29 CFR 1910.1200) for any hazardous materials. All shipments require government inspection and acceptance at the destination point using MIL-STD-1916 sampling with stringent AQL tolerances, requiring zero non-conformances for critical items. Invoicing must be conducted through the Wide Area WorkFlow system, and the contractor is subject to a full suite of Federal Acquisition Regulation and Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement clauses addressing cybersecurity (including NIST SP 800-171 and safeguarding of covered defense information), prohibition on certain telecommunications equipment, whistleblower protections, subcontracting obligations, patent indemnity, and small business representations. Although the contract maximum value is capped at $350,000.00, this specific order falls well below that threshold and is issued under simplified acquisition procedures. No subcontracting plan, COR/COTR designation, or detailed evaluation factors are specified, and no attachments or completed socioeconomic representations are included in the documentation. The contracting officer, Lucille Freeman, and local administrative contact, Rhonda Liggiens, oversee administration through the DLA Land and Maritime office in Columbus, Ohio.
