The Defense Logistics Agency awarded a delivery order under contract SPE8EE-26-D-0300 to EAST TEXAS LIGHTHOUSE FOR THE BLIND, identified by CAGE code 5U446, for the procurement of 38.000 units of CORD, FIBROUS (NSN 4020002460688) at a total price of $3,320.44. The award, dated July 16, 2026, is classified as a low-dollar acquisition and was issued to a small, women-owned business under the Women-Owned Small Business Federal Contract Program. This order is part of an indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity contract vehicle, with delivery required by July 21, 2026, at FOB destination to DLA Troop Support in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, meaning the contractor assumes all transportation costs and risks until the item is received at the designated location. Shipping must be conducted via traceable means excluding parcel post, and each shipment must include a Traceable Container Number formatted as M/F: (TCN) W81U3R61970108 and adhere strictly to the delivery schedule, with no shipping allowed to addresses listed on the order itself. The product must conform to the specified NSN and is covered by a rated order under the Defense Priorities and Allocations System (15 CFR 700), requiring priority handling and allocation compliance. Invoices must be submitted electronically in accordance with DFARS 252.232-7003 and processed through the Defense Finance and Accounting Service using payment office code SL4701. The contractor is required to maintain its small business and women-owned status, triggering compliance with subcontracting reporting obligations under FAR 19.7 and the WOSB program. There are no permitted quantity variances, no option periods, and no technical specifications beyond the NSN; inspection and acceptance occur at the destination by the government. Packaging, preservation, and marking requirements are minimal and derived from logistical directives, with no explicit reference to MIL-STDs. The contract includes no clauses listed in standardized FAR sections, no detailed statement of work, no evaluation factors, and no assigned contracting officer or contract specialist beyond administrative contacts, indicating a streamlined, commercially driven acquisition process focused on compliance rather than complex performance metrics.
