The contract mandates the procurement of corrosion-resistant, chemically treated aluminum coating in the form of a premixed liquid applicator pen, designated as Type II with no hexavalent chromium, Class 3 for low electrical resistance applications, and Method D for use in self-contained applicator devices, packaged in boxes of twelve units. The item is identified by NSN 8030015609106 and must comply with MIL-DTL-81706B(1) and MIL-STD-129R(3) technical and labeling standards. A strict shelf-life requirement applies: the product must be manufactured to ensure at least 85% of its 12-month shelf life remains upon arrival at the first government activity, with all containers clearly marked with both manufactured and inspection/test dates per MIL-STD-129, including lot or batch numbers. The manufacturer must be on the Qualified Products List (QPL) at the time of award, and packaging must adhere to MIL-STD-2073-1E and DLA packaging guidelines, ensuring no chemical or physical interaction compromises the product’s integrity during transit or storage.

Delivery is to Fort Campbell, Kentucky, under FOB destination terms with a 10-day delivery window, and shipment must occur via the fastest traceable means excluding parcel post. The contract prohibits the use of additive manufacturing, and failure to meet these requirements, including SDS submission or QPL compliance, renders an offer ineligible. The item is subject to stringent cybersecurity and information security standards under DFARS clauses, including safeguarding covered defense information and prohibiting acquisition of covered telecommunications equipment.
