The Defense Logistics Agency awarded a delivery order under contract SPE7LX-22-D-0068 to RDO Agriculture Equipment Co. (CAGE 4PNJ5) for one unit of the COUPLING HALF, QUICK (NSN 4730016070320, Part AT312470) at a total price of $76.03, with an award date of July 20, 2026, and a required delivery date of July 27, 2026. The item is classified as a commercial item and is being delivered to the Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland, under a DPAS-rated order per 15 CFR 700, which mandates priority performance and compliance with federal defense allocation systems. Shipping must occur via the fastest traceable means, with parcel post strictly prohibited, and the delivery is FOB origin, meaning risk and transportation responsibility transfer to the government upon shipment from the contractor’s location. The packaging and marking requirements include mandatory transportation control number, tactical priority, supplier address code, and government activity code, with destination labeling specifying the full military facility address and BBP code W81C5M. Inspection and acceptance are conducted at the destination by the government’s Authorized Representative, Samuel Freidet, while Timothy Andersen serves as the local contracting officer. There are no specified FAR clauses, formal contract type, or additional line items, and no technical standards, preservation methods, or barcoding requirements are referenced. The award was made as a single-source, low-value transaction under an existing indefinite delivery vehicle, with no competitive evaluation, socioeconomic set-aside, or complex compliance obligations beyond DPAS prioritization and logistical directives. Payment and invoice processing are handled through DLA Land and Maritime in Columbus, Ohio, with electronic data interchange used for award transmission.
