ELBOW, TUBE TO BOSS

Offerors must quote the elbow tube to boss item with NSN 4730-00-804-1933, quantity 183 units, under solicitation SPE7M4-26-T-287S, with a response deadline of August 7, 2026 and delivery required within 108 days after delivery order. Due to fluctuating demand, vendors are strongly encouraged to provide quantity ranges in their quotations to allow the buyer flexibility in combining or adjusting requirements without administrative delays, though this does not apply to Auto IDC. All offers must comply with restrictions on covered telecommunications equipment under FAR 52.204-24 and DFARS 252.204-7016, and must adhere to domestic sourcing requirements under the Berry Amendment and Buy American Act, with thresholds now at $150,000; non-domestic materials require explicit disclosure. Small business joint ventures must submit representations for applicable categories including small business, service-disabled veteran-owned, women-owned, economically disadvantaged women-owned, or HUBZone status. Offers may not include items produced via additive manufacturing unless specifically approved in advance by the contracting officer. Vendors must register via DLA’s AMPS system within two months to maintain access to the Vendor Shipment Module and continue shipping to DLA, and those using VSM WebServices must update their internal schemas by the April 23, 2025 technical specification to avoid service disruption. Offerors must also confirm their current dealer or distributor certification and provide manufacturer CAGE code, item name, service identification, and test number. Fast Pay is not applicable, and all offers must be submitted through DIBBS; those unable to quote by the deadline must submit a “No Bid” response with anticipated quote date or reason, which overlays previous submissions to avoid unnecessary buyer inquiries. The contracting office is the Fluid Handling Division, Department of Defense, with point of contact Blake Tushar.
