29--CORE ASSEMBLY,FLUID

The contract involves the procurement of six units of a CORE ASSEMBLY, FLUID with NSN 2930-01-572-4464 and part number C432-025-1000, sourced from RTH AMERICA INC. 3CX34, under solicitation SPE7L4-26-U-0674 issued by the Department of Defense’s LSO Combat Vehicles and Armament. Delivery is required within 11 days after receipt of order, with the contract structured as a unilateral indefinite delivery contract valid for one year, under the First Destination Transportation program and FOB Origin terms. All items must be packaged and marked in accordance with ASTM D3951 and MIL-STD-129, but the DLA Master List of Technical and Quality Requirements takes precedence over all packaging and quality standards. The contract incorporates multiple FAR and DFARS clauses governing contract type, equal opportunity, combating trafficking, payment levies, system for award management maintenance, material requirements, simplified acquisition terms, cybersecurity, and reflagging or repair work. Compliance with NIST SP 800-171 is mandatory for safeguarding covered defense information, requiring a current assessment within the last three years, and subcontractors must meet the same cybersecurity criteria. Offers must include Material Safety Data Sheets, or the offeror will be deemed nonresponsible and ineligible for award. The Government may apply HUBZone price evaluation preferences, and contractors must complete electronically submitted representations and certifications in SAM, including those related to covered defense telecommunications equipment, foreign government control, and Buy American obligations. Pricing is evaluated based on the quoted price for estimated annual demand, and all invoices and documentation must be processed through the Wide Area WorkFlow system. The contract is subject to domestic sourcing restrictions including the Berry Amendment and Buy American Act, and flow-down requirements apply to subcontracts based on the simplified acquisition threshold. Offerors may propose alternative contract types under the deviation clause 52.216-1 ALT I, and alternate part proposals require complete data packages for both approved and alternative items. All correspondence and submissions must be directed to Heather Kessler at DLA by the June 3, 2026 deadline.
