CIRCUIT BREAKER

The Defense Logistics Agency issued a sole-source award under solicitation SPE7M5-26-T-333P to GI CORPORATION (CAGE 9RU99) for the procurement of 12 circuit breakers, identified by NSN 5925017379195, at a total contract value of $10,064.04, with an award date of July 30, 2026. The contract falls under the DLA Master Solicitation for Automated Simplified Acquisitions Revision 105 and is structured as a simplified acquisition, incorporating a comprehensive set of Federal Acquisition Regulation and Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement clauses designed to ensure compliance with security, safety, environmental, and procurement integrity standards. Key clauses include requirements for safeguarding covered defense information and cyber incident reporting, prohibitions on the acquisition of covered telecommunications equipment, mandatory disclosure of information and whistleblower protections, and strict adherence to the Berry Amendment, which applies at a lowered threshold of $150,000, necessitating domestic sourcing compliance. The contract mandates that all packaging and marking conform to MIL-STD-129 with precedence given to the DLA Master List of Technical and Quality Requirements, and that hazardous materials be packaged and labeled in accordance with FED-STD-313 and 29 CFR 1910.1200. Delivery is required within 161 days after receipt of order, with a firm need ship date of January 5, 2027, and FOB origin terms govern pricing despite the destination-based inspection and acceptance outlined under FAR 52.246-2. The contractor must use the Wide Area Workflow system to electronically submit both invoices and receiving reports, and compliance with SAM validation and representations regarding small business status, telecommunications equipment restrictions, and subcontracting practices is required. A critical pass/fail gate mandates submission of a Safety Data Sheet prior to award, failure of which renders the vendor ineligible. Contractors must also register in DLA’s AMPS system to access the Vendor Shipment Module and fulfill shipping obligations. The award was processed automatically under DLA’s streamlined acquisition procedures, indicating no first article testing was required, and the HUBZone price evaluation preference may have influenced the selection unless waived. The contract is administered through the DLA Land and Maritime Active Devices Division with primary point of contact Matthew Stanko, and all payment and administrative functions are governed by the resulting award document referenced in
