CORD, FIBROUS

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded a delivery order under the basic contract SPE8EE-26-D-0300 to EAST TEXAS LIGHTHOUSE FOR THE BLIND, identified by CAGE code 5U446, for a total value of $436.90. The order, issued on July 17, 2026, is for five units of CORD, FIBROUS (NSN 4020-00-246-0688), with a unit price of $87.38 and no quantity variances permitted. The delivery is scheduled to be completed by July 22, 2026, with FOB Destination terms placing full responsibility for shipping costs and risk of loss on the contractor. The specified delivery point is Building X3063 at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, and inspection and acceptance are conducted by the government at that location. The contractor is certified as a small, disadvantaged, women-owned business, triggering compliance obligations under federal socioeconomic programs and requiring ongoing verification through SAM.gov and the Small Business Administration. Payment will be processed electronically via EDI through the Defense Finance and Accounting Service, with remittance sent to Columbus, Ohio, and invoicing handled under the SL4701 code. The contract is administratively simple, reflecting a low-value, non-complex procurement of a standard commodity under an existing indefinite delivery vehicle, with no option periods, detailed specifications, or complex performance criteria outlined. Shipping must be done via traceable means—parcel post is prohibited—and all packages must be properly marked with identification numbers per the order’s documentation. Compliance with the Defense Priorities and Allocations System under 15 CFR 700 is required. The contracting officer is Nate Prattico, and administrative oversight is managed by Colleen Ippolli. No standard FAR clauses, attachments, or detailed technical specifications were explicitly included in the available documentation, suggesting the order operates under the framework of the underlying basic contract.
