COUPLING, SHAFT, RIGI

The contract solicitation SPE7L2-26-T-0418 seeks three units of a shaft coupling, rigid type, identified by NSN 3010-01-525-4372, under a simplified acquisition process with a 129-day delivery window after award and a required delivery date of November 29, 2026. The item must be manufactured, packaged, and shipped in strict compliance with DLA Master List of Technical and Quality Requirements, which take precedence over all other standards. Packaging and marking must adhere to ASTM D3951 and MIL-STD-129, with palletization following DLA RP001 guidelines, and all hazardous materials must be labeled in accordance with OSHA’s Hazard Communication Standard and accompanied by pre-approved safety data sheets. The place of delivery is the DLA Distribution Facility in New Cumberland, Pennsylvania, with FOB Origin terms, meaning the contractor assumes all transportation risk and cost until delivery. The solicitation requires electronic submission exclusively via the DIBBS portal by May 15, 2026, and mandates the use of WAWF for all invoicing, with payment processed through DoDAAC codes upon receipt and acceptance at destination. The contract incorporates a comprehensive set of federal and defense regulatory clauses, primarily under FAR and DFARS, covering cybersecurity, employment compliance, whistleblower protections, and supply chain integrity. Key cybersecurity requirements include compliance with NIST SP 800-171 and mandatory reporting of cyber incidents under clause 252.204-7012, alongside assessment and safeguarding protocols for controlled unclassified information. The contractor must affirm its unique entity identifier and CAGE code, particularly if providing covered telecommunications equipment, and disclose any joint venture participation under socioeconomic categories such as WOSB or SDVOSB. While the contract type and pricing details are not specified, deviation clauses allow flexibility in contract structure, and the government retains final inspection and acceptance authority at the delivery point. The procurement is subject to Buy American Act considerations and sustainable product preferences, and all proposals must be submitted through DIBBS with standard documentation such as SF-18, adhering to DLA’s automated simplified acquisition framework. No formal contract value is listed, as unit pricing is omitted, and the award basis—whether lowest price technically acceptable or trade-off—is not indicated in the solicitation.
