The Defense Logistics Agency awarded LC INDUSTRIES INC, a small business with certification as a Small Disadvantaged and Women-Owned Business, a delivery order under contract SPE3S126P0045 for the supply of a DINING PACKET with NSN 7360015093586. The total contract value is $1,150,500.00, with a single line item for 150,000 bags at a unit price of $7.67, and no option quantities or variance allowed. The award was issued on July 17, 2026, with a required delivery date of October 19, 2026, and delivery is FOB destination, meaning the contractor bears all costs and risks until receipt at the specified location: W1A8 DLA DIST SAN JOAQUIN, 25600 S CHRISMAN ROAD, REC WHSE 57, TRACY, CA 95304-5000. Performance is governed by comprehensive federal regulations including MIL-STD-2073-1E for packaging and preservation using CLNG/DRY methods, and MIL-STD-129 for labeling and barcoding, with palletization following DLA’s RP001 standard. Inspection and acceptance occur at the destination by the Government, who retains responsibility for confirming conformance to contract requirements. The contract mandates strict compliance with ocean transportation rules under DFARS 252.247-7023, requiring the exclusive use of U.S.-flag vessels unless a written waiver is obtained at least 45 days in advance, documenting due diligence in seeking domestic carriers. Failure to comply with reporting obligations, such as submitting ocean bills of lading with ten required data elements within 30 days of shipment or including the proper representation on final invoices, renders invoices improper and may result in equitable adjustments. The contractor must also flow down these ocean transport requirements to subcontracts exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold. Payment must be processed through the Wide Area WorkFlow system using approved document types, with remittance directed to P.O. Box 182317, Columbus, OH 43218-2317 under appropriation symbol 97X4930 5CBX 001 2620 S33189. The contract includes clauses for
