FASTENER TAPE, PILE

The contract SPE4A626V2890, awarded by the Defense Logistics Agency to AL-TECH ASSOCIATES, INC. (CAGE 0AF93), was for the procurement of FASTENER TAPE, PILE (NSN 5325016188307) under a firm-fixed-price arrangement. The award, issued on July 21, 2026, involved a single line item for 2,217 feet of the product with an original extended price of $1,840.11; however, the contract was administratively canceled effective June 20, 2026, via modification P00001 due to manufacturer-induced price increases, leaving the contract value at $0 with no performance or delivery obligations fulfilled. The contracting officer, Teresa Turner, acted unilaterally under FAR 13.302-4(b) and FAR 43.103(b), citing post-award request #5422771 and confirmatory email correspondence from the contractor’s administrative point of contact, Janice A. Schwing. No formal evaluation factors, basis of award, or socioeconomic certifications were documented, though the NAICS code 332510 was assigned with no size status affirmed. The place of performance and delivery location were unspecified, with no FOB terms, preservation, packaging, or marking requirements detailed, and no references to MIL-STD-129 or MIL-STD-2073 included. Invoicing procedures were not formally defined, though email submission through PAR 5422771 was referenced; similarly, no COR or COTR was identified, and no accounting codes, remittance instructions, or invoicing systems like WAWF were provided. The contract type remains unstated, and all administrative actions were executed without bilateral agreement, reflecting a simplified acquisition under the government’s authority to cancel awarded line items due to pricing changes.
