CONNECTING LINK, RIG

The contract pertains to the procurement of three rigid connecting links with NSN 3040-00-920-8692 under solicitation SPE7L1-26-T-827N, issued by the Department of Defense’s Land Supply Chain through the Defense Logistics Agency. Manufacturing may require casting or forging processes, and because the government may not possess the necessary tooling, vendors must submit a Casting and Forging Assistance Request if they need support for tooling, materials, or related engineering details. The item is subject to strict technical and quality requirements outlined in the DLA Master List, with compliance determined by the revision in effect on the solicitation issue date or award date depending on acquisition size.

The product contains technical data controlled under ITAR or EAR, prohibiting any unauthorized export, including disclosure to foreign nationals within or outside the United States, and DFARS 252.225-7048 governs its handling. Access to this data is restricted to contractors with approved US/Canada Joint Certification Program status, who have completed mandatory DLA export control training and questionnaire submissions. Ozone-depleting chemicals are strictly prohibited in production, and any substitutes must be pre-approved unless explicitly authorized by specification. Packaging must conform to DLA requirements, and Government identification must be removed from non-accepted supplies. The point of contact for inquiries is Dillon James, with performance occurring in New Cumberland, Pennsylvania, and responses due by July 23, 2026.
