CORD, FIBROUS

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded a delivery order under contract SPE8EE26D0300 to East Texas Lighthouse for the Blind (CAGE 5U446) for two units of fibrous cord (NSN 4020002460688) at a total price of $174.76, with a unit cost of $87.38 per unit. The award date was July 20, 2026, and delivery is required by July 27, 2026, to the Naval Surface Warfare Center in McAlester, Oklahoma, under FOB destination terms, meaning the contractor bears all transportation costs and risks until delivery. The order is rated under the Defense Priorities and Allocations System (DPAS) per 15 CFR 700 and must be shipped via the fastest traceable means, with parcel post strictly prohibited. Invoicing must comply with DFARS 252.232-7003, and payment will be processed through the Defense Finance and Accounting Service at the address in Columbus, Ohio, using accounting code 97X4930 5CBX 001 2620 S33189. The item must conform to contract specifications upon inspection at the destination, with no alternative packaging, preservation, or marking standards explicitly detailed, though EDI traceability is implied. The acquisition was conducted as a single-source award, driven primarily by price, consistent with a lowest price technically acceptable approach, with no competing offers or non-price factors evaluated. The awardee is a nonprofit organization serving the blind, though no formal socioeconomic certifications such as AbilityOne, 8(a), or HUBZone are documented. The contract contains no enumerated FAR or DFARS clauses beyond invoice submission instructions, no special requirements or performance incentives, and no option periods or quantity variances. The point of contact for administration is Colleen Ippolli of DLA Troop Support, and the contract operates under the NAICS code 314994 for other textile product mills.
