FILTER ELEMENT, FLUID

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded a delivery order under contract SPE7LX-21-D-0007 to Cummins Inc. (CAGE 04MP1) for the procurement of a single fluid filter element (NSN 2910015959085) at a unit price of $35.86, with the award issued on July 30, 2026. The contract is structured as an indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) instrument with a base period from November 12, 2020, to November 11, 2022, and four optional two-year periods that, if exercised, extend the total performance period to November 11, 2032. The estimated total contract value over the full term is up to $248.7 million, though the issued delivery order reflects only a single unit. Deliveries are governed by FOB destination for customer direct and DLA stock orders, and FOB origin for Foreign Military Sales orders, with shipments required to be sent by the fastest traceable means and explicitly excluding parcel post. The destination delivery address is Fort Bliss, Texas, with the contractor’s facility in Memphis, Tennessee serving as the point of origin for inspections and shipments. The contract mandates strict compliance with multiple DFARS clauses, including those governing Buy American and Trade Agreements Act requirements, cybersecurity incident reporting, prohibition on covered telecommunications equipment, and use of the Wide Area Workflow system for invoicing. Inspection and acceptance are performed by the government—DLA Land and Maritime for destination deliveries and DCMA Huntsville for origin inspections—based on conformity to contract specifications without reference to specific military standards like MIL-STD-129. Marking requirements include the transportation control number TCN: W8001Z62110792, required delivery date RDD: 555, and full shipping address, but no barcoding or packaging standards beyond prohibitions on parcel post are specified. The contractor is not classified as a small business and has made no explicit socioeconomic certifications; however, it is bound by subcontracting commitments detailed in Enclosure #8 and the Small Business Participation Commitment Document in Enclosure #9. Payment is processed through the Defense Finance and Accounting Service in Columbus, Ohio, using payment code SL4701 and WAWF, with economic price adjustments effective annually from January 4, 2021
