COUPLING, DRAIN, THAW

The contract pertains to the procurement of two units of a coupling, drain, and thawing system specifically designed for use with a plasma thawing system, featuring a half-inch hose barb insert and an inner diameter suitable for operational integration. The item is identified by NSN 6640-01-557-4709 and is being sourced under solicitation SPE2DH-26-T-3739, with a mandatory delivery timeline of five days to Camp Pendleton, California. All units must be packaged in sealed commercial containers that protect against damage and breakage, with exterior shipping containers meeting commercial standards and ensuring safe, cost-effective delivery via common carrier, including export packaging where required. Marking must strictly follow Medical Marking Standard No. 1, which supersedes MIL-STD-129 for medical acquisitions, and requires machine-readable barcoding for traceability. Compliance with the DLA Master List of Technical and Quality Requirements, including RP001 for packaging and RQ011 for removal of government identification from non-accepted supplies, is mandatory and takes precedence over other standards. The product is subject to the Hazard Warning Labels requirement (252.223-7001), necessitating proper labeling per OSHA’s Hazard Communication Standard unless governed by another federal statute, with pre-award submission of labels and MSDS for hazardous materials. The contract mandates adherence to cybersecurity protocols outlined in 252.204-7012 and 252.204-7020, aligning with NIST SP 800-171 for safeguarding covered defense information and requiring assessment reporting through the Supplier Performance Risk System. Offerors must provide their Unique Entity Identifier and CAGE code, declare size status as small or other-than-small business, and disclose any joint venture participation if claiming socioeconomic status. Invoicing is exclusively through Wide Area WorkFlow, and final inspection and acceptance will occur at the delivery point. All submissions must be made electronically via DIBBS by the deadline of May 18, 2026, with no paper or physical submissions accepted. The contract type remains unspecified but allows for alternative proposals under FAR 52.216-1 Alt I, and the FOB term is destination, shifting risk and cost of delivery to the contractor.
