The buy covers 54 each, with unit and extended pricing to be proposed by offerors, and the delivery requirement is 504 days after date of award. Inspection and acceptance are both at origin, FOB is origin, and the destination address is DLA Distribution Depot Oklahoma at Tinker AFB, Oklahoma. The action is identified as an Air Force designated Critical Safety Item and a Critical Application Item, with the item associated to Boeing as the approved source for part number 10-2429-2 after Amendment 0001 removed SMR Acquisition as an approved source. The solicitation also notes the item requires item unique identification, must be marked in accordance with MIL-STD-129, and each unit pack must include lot and serial number information when available, contractor CAGE code, actual manufacturer CAGE code, and part number. The contract incorporates extensive technical, quality, cybersecurity, packaging, and administrative requirements. Technical and quality provisions include source approval request documentation, covered defense information handling, Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification Level 2 self-assessment, configuration control, inspection at origin, removal of government identification from non-accepted supplies, physical identification and bare item marking, higher-level quality requirements tied to SAE AS9100, and measuring/test equipment controls. Sampling is governed by MIL-STD-1916, ASQ H1331 Table 1, or comparable zero-based plans, with critical, major, and minor attributes assigned specified verification levels or AQLs and acceptance requiring zero nonconformances unless otherwise stated. Packaging must follow MIL-STD-2073-1E and DLA RP001, with preservation, wrapping, cushioning, and container requirements spelled out, and special marking code 00 indicates no special marking. Evaluation is based on best value using a comparative tradeoff, with price, past performance, and other factors considered approximately equal to cost or price overall, while past performance is more important than other non-price factors and SPRS assessments weigh most heavily. Submission instructions require sealed offers in original and one copy by 3:00 PM local time on July 15, 2026, with hand-carried offers accepted at the Mail Room, Building 210.
