The award was issued on July 29, 2026, with a single delivery scheduled for August 3, 2026, to Sheik Isa Airbase in Bahrain, under FOB destination terms, meaning the contractor assumes all transportation costs and risks until delivery. The contract is classified under NAICS code 314994 and falls under the Department of Defense, managed by DLA Troop Support Construction & Equipment Manu & Con. The delivery is subject to DPAS rating under 15 CFR 700, requiring the contractor to prioritize performance and comply with priority allocation regulations. Invoicing must be completed electronically via the Wide Area WorkFlow system in accordance with DFARS 252.232-7003, and payments will be processed by the Defense Finance and Accounting Service in Columbus, Ohio. Packaging and marking requirements mandate inclusion of the MARKFOR field, SHIP TO CODE, M/F identifier, TCN, RDD, NSN, PR number, and shipping code W8004Q62100013, though no detailed packaging or preservation specifications are provided—compliance is presumed to be governed by the underlying basic contract. The awardee, a nonprofit serving the blind, is not formally designated with a socioeconomic status in the document, though its nature may imply potential AbilityOne Program affiliation. No evaluation factors, contract clauses, attachments, or special requirements such as security clearances, options, or key personnel clauses are listed, reflecting the streamlined nature of this low-value commercial supply order. The contracting officer is Nate Pratico, and Colleen Ippolit serves as the administrative point of contact; no COR or COTR is identified. Inspection and acceptance occur at the destination, with no further quality or testing criteria specified beyond general compliance with DFARS and DLA procedures.
