FILTER ELEMENT, FLUID

The Defense Logistics Agency has awarded a requirements contract under solicitation SPE7LX-21-D-0007 to CUMMINS INC, identified by CAGE code 04MP1, with an effective date of November 12, 2020, and a potential term extending through November 11, 2032, encompassing a two-year base period and four two-year option periods. The contract supports indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) ordering, with individual delivery orders such as SPE7L126FAZ6V issued based on need. One such delivery order, awarded on August 1, 2026, covers a single fluid filter element (NSN 2910015959085) at a unit price of $35.86, though the total estimated value of the base and option periods ranges from approximately $49.7 million to $248.7 million, reflecting projected annual demand over the full term. The contract mandates fixed-price delivery with economic price adjustment and applies FOB Destination terms for DLA and DVD stock orders, while FMS orders require FOB Origin delivery. Performance is centered at Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Washington, with inspection and acceptance occurring at the destination for DLA orders and at origin for FMS shipments, administered by DCMA and other government representatives. The contractor must comply with numerous FAR and DFARS clauses including 52.204-19 on representations and certifications, 252.204-7009 and 252.204-7018 governing cyber incident reporting and prohibited telecommunications equipment, and 52.232-40 requiring accelerated payments to small business subcontractors. Special compliance obligations arise from Cummins’ representation that none of the parts offered are manufactured in the United States or designated countries, invoking modified Buy American and Trade Agreements Act requirements. Packaging and marking directives require traceable shipping methods with parcel post explicitly prohibited, and all shipments must be labeled with the contract and delivery order numbers, destination identifier W81UTH, Traceability Control Number, Requisition Delivery Date, and Transportation Priority using block text. Payment processing is governed by WAWF, with remittance handled through the DLA Fiscal Service in Columbus, Ohio. The contract incorporates nine essential enclosures detailing awarded NSNs, pricing, surge and sustainment logistics,
