The award, issued on July 14, 2026, under designation SPE8EE26F2491, requires delivery by July 20, 2026, to Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia under FOB destination terms, meaning the contractor bears all transportation costs and risks until the goods arrive at the designated military installation. The contractor is affirmed as a small business, a small disadvantaged business, and a women-owned small business, triggering compliance with FAR provisions related to small business set-asides and reporting obligations. Payment will be processed by the Defense Finance and Accounting Service in Columbus, Ohio, using the accounting code BX: 97X4930 5CBX 001 2620 S33189 and project requisition number 7017475051, with invoicing conducted electronically via EDI using DLA voucher systems. Packaging and labeling must include the base contract number SPE8EE-26-D-0300 and the delivery order number SPE8EE-26-F-2491 for traceability, though no specific packaging, preservation, or barcoding standards are detailed. Inspection and acceptance are the responsibility of the government at the destination point, with acceptance contingent on conformity to contract requirements and adherence to the Defense Priorities and Allocations System (DPAS). The award reflects a straightforward, single-line-item purchase with no options, variance allowances, or special requirements beyond those inherent in the base contract, with point of contact oversight provided by Nate Prattico and Colleen Ippolli of DLA Troop Support in Philadelphia.
