The total contract value is $6,787.00, with each unit priced at $617.00, and no quantity flexibility is permitted.

The contract specifies FOB Origin terms, meaning the government assumes all transportation costs, and requires strict compliance with MIL-STD-2073-1E for packaging and MIL-STD-129 for marking, including identification numbers and barcoding. Acceptance is conducted at the destination by an authorized government representative, using DLA’s Master List of Technical and Quality Requirements for inspection criteria, which are not fully detailed in the provided documentation.
