CORD, FIBROUS

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded a firm-fixed-price delivery order under contract SPE8EE26D0300 to East Texas Lighthouse for the Blind, identified by CAGE code 5U446, for the procurement of six sleeves of fibrous cord, identified by NSN 4020002460688, at a total contract value of $524.28. The award was posted on July 15, 2026, with delivery required by July 20, 2026, to Building 9640 S L Street, Bay F, Joint Base Lewis-McChord, WA 98433-5000, under FOB destination terms, meaning the contractor assumes full responsibility for shipping, freight costs, and delivery logistics. Inspection and acceptance occur at the destination, with no tolerance for quantity variation, and shipments must be sent via traceable transportation methods—parcel post is prohibited. Each package must be marked with the Tracking Control Number W68PPA61960370, the project code TP 3, and comply with the required delivery date of Julian day 209. The item is procured under a federal supply classification and unit of issue defined by DLA, though no specific military standards for packaging, inspection, or performance are explicitly cited in the documentation. The awardee is a nonprofit organization serving the blind, suggesting potential qualification under the AbilityOne Program, though no formal socioeconomic certifications are stated. The contract lacks detailed clauses, evaluation factors, attachments, or special requirements typically found in larger or more complex procurements, reflecting its nature as a low-value, straightforward acquisition of a standardized commercial item. Payment responsibility lies with the contractor, with remittance directed to the W68PPA accounting office at Joint Base Lewis-McChord, and no electronic invoicing system is specified. The procurement is administered by DLA with an IPD code of 12, but no contracting officer’s representative or technical oversight personnel are identified in the available data.
