COUPLING, BAND POD

The U.S. Defense Logistics Agency awarded a fixed-price contract to BROWN HELICOPTER, INC. (CAGE 5V361) for the procurement of one unit of a COUPLING, BAND POD (NSN 5865-00-106-9212) at a total price of $7,910.00, with the award issued on July 14, 2026 under solicitation SPE4A7-26-T-1080. The contract falls under NAICS code 332510 and is classified as a federal acquisition with no specific set-aside designation. The item is surplus government property, requiring the contractor to certify its condition as new and unused, with full traceability through original packaging markings including NSN, CAGE code, part number, and contract number. All packaging and labeling must strictly comply with MIL-STD-129 and ASTM D3951, with DLA’s Master List of Technical and Quality Requirements taking precedence where conflicts exist. Palletization must adhere to RP001, and barcoding is mandated under MIL-STD-129 without further specification of symbology. The contract incorporates numerous Federal Acquisition Regulation clauses, including prompt payment, electronic funds transfer, disputes, termination for convenience, and default provisions. Special requirements include the Defense Priorities and Allocations System (DPAS) rated award authority to prioritize performance for national defense needs. The contractor must use WAWF for all invoice submissions and is subject to requirements on whistleblower rights, antiterrorism training, limitations on information disclosure, sustainable products, paid sick leave compliance, and veteran employment reporting, with several clauses incorporating deviations effective February 2026. Security prohibitions apply under Alternate I of 52.240-91, allowing selectable federal agency restrictions. Inspections and acceptance occur at the destination, governed by FAR 52.246-2, and the contractor is responsible for ensuring delivery of corrosion-free, properly marked items. Payment is subject to electronic submission requirements and accelerated payment incentives for small business subcontractors. No delivery schedule, FOB terms, or place of performance are explicitly defined beyond implied logistical alignment with DLA’s surplus property handling procedures. All required representations and certifications are referenced in the contract clauses but were not completed or submitted as part of the available documentation.
