The Defense Logistics Agency awarded a firm-fixed-price indefinite quantity contract, SPE7LX26D0073, to GTA CONTAINERS, LLC (CAGE 1YFX5), for the supply of COVER, VEHICULAR COMPONENTS (NSN 2590015987777), with a total contract value of $2,677,395.75, awarded on July 29, 2026, under solicitation SPE7LX-26-R-0053. The contract is structured as a Long-Term Contract (LTC), equivalent to an Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) mechanism, with a proposed three-year base period and potential single option years thereafter, designed to support sustained annual demand estimated at 177 units. The item is defined by Basic Drawing Number 57K4921 and must qualify as a commercial item under FAR 2.101(b), requiring the contractor to provide complete technical data, including drawings, and verifiable commercial sales history to establish price reasonableness. As the contract value exceeds $2 million, certified cost or pricing data is required, along with similar documentation from any subcontractors, and the contractor must disclose whether they are a manufacturer or distributor, providing the manufacturer’s CAGE code if applicable. The place of performance and inspection location are not specified, nor are detailed packaging, marking, or FOB delivery terms outlined; however, the delivery terms and minimum order quantities must be clearly defined by the contractor. Payment and invoicing procedures are not explicitly stated, though the standard DLA remittance address in Columbus, Ohio, is referenced, and electronic invoicing systems like WAWF are neither confirmed nor ruled out. No contract administration data, including point of contact details for the PCO, COR, or COTR, nor accounting codes such as AAC, TAS, or ACRN, are provided in the documentation. The solicitation required responses to a market research questionnaire within five business days, with submissions via mail or email permitted, and emphasized compliance with commercial item criteria and pricing transparency. While socioeconomic status, size certification, and other representations were requested, no completed affirmations from the awardee were included in the materials, and no specific quality standards or inspection criteria are referenced beyond reliance on the drawing and NSN.
