59--ELECTRON TUBE

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded contract SPE7L324P0044 to THOMAS ELECTRONICS, INC, with a total contract value of $294,195.00, effective July 14, 2026, following solicitation SPE7L3-23-Q-1297. The contract centers on the delivery and handling of a non-conforming electron tube identified by NSN 5960-01-061-0448, primarily to support an investigation into material deficiencies documented under Product Quality Deficiency Report 206061125. Although one line item lists a unit price of $50 for a single unit, the extended price is zero, indicating this line serves as an administrative return track rather than a procurement. The contractor is required to return the defective item to DLA Distribution Warner Robins, Georgia, for testing and validation, with reimbursement obligations tied to the outcome of the investigation. Performance is governed under FAR 43.203(a)(3) for contract modifications and aligns with military-grade electronic component standards, though detailed technical specifications or inspection criteria such as applicable MIL-STDs are not externally provided in the documentation. Contract administration is managed by DLA Land and Maritime, with Chelsea Harger serving as the Contracting Officer and Elaine Carabin fulfilling COTR-like responsibilities for technical oversight and non-conformance resolution. Payment processing is handled through DLA’s logistics administrative office in Columbus, Ohio, though no remittance address is explicitly listed, and no invoicing system such as WAWF is specified. The place of performance for delivery is the contractor’s location in Clyde, New York, while return shipments must be directed to Warner Robins, Georgia. The contract’s NAICS code is 423690, identifying the contractor as an electronic parts wholesaler, but no socioeconomic status or small business designation is documented. Packaging and marking requirements, specific delivery schedules, FOB terms, and accounting data like AAC, TAS, or ACRN are absent from the publicly available records. The contract modification P00002, signed on July 14, 2026, with an original issuance date of October 8, 2023, reflects an administrative adjustment to address quality issues rather than initiate new procurement. No formal contract type, options, or special requirements such as security clearances are detailed, and the evaluation factors
