CUTTER, MILLING, WOOD

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded a contract to ALLIED TOOLS, INC (CAGE 3DZM1) for the delivery of one unit of a milling cutter for wood, identified by NSN 3455009951909, under solicitation SPE8E5-26-T-3294, with a total contract value of forty-eight dollars and seventy-six cents. The award was issued on July 15, 2026, and delivery is required within five calendar days after order placement, with the target delivery date set for June 11, 2026. Performance is FOB Origin at Offutt Air Force Base, Nebraska, where the government will conduct inspection and acceptance. The contract references stringent packaging and marking standards, requiring compliance with ASTM D3951, MIL-STD-129 for labeling and barcoding, and RP001 for palletization, with the DLA Master List of Technical and Quality Requirements taking precedence. Product specifications include a Rockwell C62 to C66 hardness requirement for the cutter’s end. The contract incorporates multiple federal acquisition regulations and defense clauses governing cybersecurity, hazardous materials, labor practices, and small business representation. Key DFARS clauses mandate adherence to NIST SP 800-171 for safeguarding covered defense information, cyber incident reporting, and restrictions on the use of third-party cyber incident data. Contractors must submit Safety Data Sheets prior to award for any hazardous materials used, in compliance with OSHA’s Hazard Communication Standard, and must maintain updated material lists. Labor requirements include affirmative action for workers with disabilities, anti-human trafficking measures, employment eligibility verification, and whistleblower protections. The contract also requires compliance with postaward small business representation rules and accelerated payments to small business subcontractors. All invoicing must be processed through the Wide Area WorkFlow system, and payment information is to be coordinated via the DoDAAC referenced in the award documentation. While the pricing structure shows a single line item with no stated unit or extended price, the award was likely made under a simplified acquisition procedure, leveraging the CAGE code and UEI for vendor verification, and relying on socioeconomic certifications as part of the source selection process, though evaluation factors and award basis remain unspecified.
