Commercial Off-the-Shelf Life Preserver Vest Supply

The contract involves the procurement and delivery of one NSN-compliant life preserver vest, designated as Part MD3040-4-L, to the USS America (LHA 6) with FOB destination terms. The item is classified as a commercial off-the-shelf product under NAICS code 424450, indicating it is a standardized piece of equipment procured through routine commercial channels without customization. The acquisition is managed by the Defense Logistics Agency under the Department of Defense and is structured as a subcontract, meaning it is part of a broader supply chain supporting naval operations. The award is linked to the DIBBS system with specific identifiers for contract and delivery tracking, ensuring accountability and traceability through the logistics pipeline. The posted date of August 9, 2026, suggests this solicitation is planned for future execution, with performance expected to occur subsequent to award. The FOB destination implies the vendor assumes responsibility for transport risk until the vest reaches the designated point of delivery aboard USS America, after which the military accepts ownership and liability.
