CORD, FIBROUS

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded a delivery order under contract SPE8EE26D0300 to EAST TEXAS LIGHTHOUSE FOR THE BLIND, identified by CAGE code 5U446, for the procurement of 5.000 spools of fibrous cord (NSN 4020002460688) at a unit price of $87.38, resulting in a total contract value of $436.90. The award was issued on July 21, 2026, and delivery is required by July 27, 2026, to the destination address at Building 9628, Airfield Road, Fort Carson, Colorado, 80913-4104, under FOB Destination terms, meaning the contractor bears all freight costs and risks until delivery is completed. The shipment must be sent by the fastest traceable means, explicitly prohibiting parcel post, and must be marked with the traceable control number W33R7X62020239 for identification and tracking. No specific packaging, preservation, or barcoding standards beyond the marking instruction are stated, and no references to MIL-STDs or other military specifications are included. The contract includes no formal clause requirements, evaluation factors, or section-specific certifications, and essential administrative data such as the contracting officer’s name, payment office details, accounting codes, and invoice processing instructions are not provided. The contractor’s socioeconomic status and any formal representations or certifications are not documented in the award notice, though the entity’s name suggests potential affiliation with a nonprofit serving the blind. The contract is structured as a single-line-item, firm-fixed-price delivery order with no option quantities or pricing variability, issued under a broader indefinite-delivery contract, and operates without explicit inspection criteria, quality standards, or technical specifications beyond the NSN and the notation “SEE BASIC,” implying that detailed technical requirements reside in underlying documentation not included in the award record.
