The period of performance is 90 days after receipt of order, with delivery required at Clinton, Oklahoma, 73601. The solicitation incorporates numerous FAR and HHSAR clauses reflecting federal compliance requirements including whistleblower protections, labor standards, human trafficking prevention, sustainable procurement, Buy American provisions, and specific Indian preference mandates under 352.226-1 and 352.226-6, which require the prime contractor to be an eligible Indian Economic Enterprise as defined under the Buy Indian Act, with at least 51% ownership and operation by enrolled tribal members and a principal office located in Indian country. Performance is subject to additional obligations under the Crime Control Act and Indian Child Protection and Family Violence Act, requiring reporting of child abuse and adherence to protections for Indian children. The contract includes an option to extend services and accelerated payment provisions for small business subcontractors. No packaging, labeling, or barcoding standards beyond the general technical requirement for bag labeling are specified, and no line-item pricing data is provided in the text, though vendors must provide full pricing details per line item. Failure to supply complete technical documentation or missing mandatory information such as SAM registration will result in rejection.
