CIRCUIT BREAKER

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded CHESTER SUPPLY, LLC (CAGE 8GZU3) a fixed-price contract valued at $1,681.00 for the delivery of one circuit breaker (NSN 5925004869109), with delivery required by August 4, 2026, or twenty days after order, whichever comes first. The contract, issued under solicitation SPE7M5-26-T-092Z and awarded on July 15, 2026, is a simplified acquisition below the micro-purchase threshold, involving a single line item with no options or quantity variances. Delivery is to the U.S. Navy vessel USNS JOHN LENTHALL T AO 189 at FPO AE 09577, with FOB origin terms meaning the government assumes transportation costs and responsibility from the contractor’s location. The item must comply strictly with MIL-STD-2073-1E for packaging and MIL-STD-129 for marking, labeling, and barcoding, using cold/dry preservation and no preservative materials. Hazards are addressed via clauses requiring compliance with OSHA’s Hazard Communication Standard, submission of Safety Data Sheets prior to award, and adherence to hazardous materials labeling and identification requirements under DFARS and FAR provisions. The contract incorporates numerous FAR and DFARS clauses related to employment eligibility, combating human trafficking, sustainable products, cybersecurity safeguards, patent indemnity, accelerated payments to small business subcontractors, and whistleblower protections, all modified under Deviation 2026-00038 except where explicitly noted. Payment is to be processed via WAWF by the Defense Finance and Accounting Service in Columbus, Ohio, and is eligible for fast pay. Contract administration is handled by Blake Taylor of DLA, with Devin Diederich serving as the local administrative contact. No Contracting Officer’s Representative is designated. The contractor must provide all required representations and certifications, including compliance with U.S. export controls and prohibitions on sourcing from Chinese military companies, and must ensure all hazardous materials are documented and labeled per federal standards prior to award, with failure to do so resulting in nonresponsibility determinations. The acquisition is not subject to set-aside provisions, and no evaluation factors or source selection criteria are documented, indicating an LPTA or similar streamlined approach was likely used.
