The Defense Logistics Agency awarded a fixed-price delivery order under contract SPE7M125D5000 to SAFEWARE INC, identified by CAGE code 1DCA7, for the procurement of a gas detector with NSN 6665016910255 at a total contract price of $277.93. The award was issued on July 17, 2026, and the contract operates within a broader indefinite-delivery framework with a base performance period of 1,095 days, allowing for multiple delivery orders to be issued as needed. Each delivery order has a 60-day lead time and is FOB Origin, with payment and acceptance occurring at the destination, such as the USS MINNEAPOLIS SAINT PAUL (LCS 21), using the Wide Area WorkFlow system for all invoicing and payment requests. The contract includes mandatory compliance with federal regulations including FAR and DFARS clauses covering cybersecurity, such as NIST SP 800-171 implementation and mandatory cyber incident reporting within 72 hours to the DoD, as well as Buy American provisions with Alternate I applied, and cargo preference requirements mandating diligent use of U.S.-flag vessels for international shipments unless a waiver is obtained at least 45 days in advance. The awardee is certified as a small business, small disadvantaged business, and woman-owned small business, triggering reporting obligations to SAM.gov and eligibility for socioeconomic set-asides. Packaging and marking must comply with contract-specific instructions referencing FAR 52.224-1 for transportation cost analysis, including container dimensions, gross weight, and palletization, but no formal MIL-STDs or barcoding standards are specified. The government retains full inspection and acceptance authority at the delivery point under FAR 52.246-16, and all subcontracting must flow down applicable cybersecurity, trafficking in persons, anti-kickback, and equal opportunity provisions. The contract includes strict payment controls through DFAS Columbus using payment code SL4701, with no fast pay provision unless specifically authorized, and requires submission of accurate ocean bills of lading within 30 days of each shipment, including ten specified data elements and certification of compliance with U.S.-flag vessel requirements. All documentation must be submitted electronically in PDF format, and no technical evaluation factors or source selection criteria are explicitly defined, suggesting award was made under a low-price, technically acceptable basis.
