COUPLING HALF, QUICK

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded DERCO AEROSPACE, INC. (CAGE 8X044) a firm fixed-price delivery order under contract SPE4AX26DP001 for 188 units of the COUPLING HALF, QUICK (NSN 4730015629926) at a unit price of $1.0000, resulting in a total contract value of $188.00. The award was issued on July 21, 2026, with delivery required by April 19, 2027, under FOB Origin terms, meaning the Government assumes transportation costs and risk from the contractor’s facility in Milwaukee, WI, to the receiving point at DLA San Joaquin in Tracy, CA. The contract is structured as a delivery order under a broader IDIQ-type vehicle for Non-Itemized Items, with pricing finalized at the time of issuance rather than through negotiation after award. The contractor is designated as a Small Disadvantaged Women-Owned Business, and the order is rated under the Defense Priorities and Allocations System, requiring priority performance and compliance with reporting obligations. Invoicing must be submitted per DFARS 252.232-7003, with payment terms set at Net 30 days to the designated DLA payment office in Tracy, CA. All items must be packaged and labeled in accordance with MIL-STD-129 and ASTM D3951, with DLA Master List requirements taking precedence. Palletization must follow RP001, and barcoding is mandatory per MIL-STD-129 for logistics tracking. Inspection and acceptance occur at origin, governed by MIL-STD-1916 sampling standards with zero-defect critical quality thresholds (AQL 0.1) and higher tolerance for major (AQL 1.0) and minor (AQL 4.0) defects. Quality assurance relies on DLA’s technical and quality requirements, with no formal contract modifications or options specified. The award reflects simplified acquisition procedures consistent with FAR Part 13, and while no explicit evaluation factors or weights are documented, technical acceptability in compliance with packaging, marking, and quality standards was clearly a threshold for selection. No additional contract clauses beyond DFARS 252.232-7003 are explicitly listed, and no security clearances, key personnel
