GASKET

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded a firm-fixed-price purchase order to TRADECONNECTT, LLC (CAGE 9K6T3) for the acquisition of one gasket (NSN 5330-01-725-6267) at a total contract value of $9.99, issued under solicitation SPE7L1-26-T-624G and awarded on July 17, 2026. This transaction falls under simplified acquisition procedures, with delivery required within 30 days after delivery order issuance, specifically by August 17, 2026, and FOB origin terms placing title and risk of loss with the Government upon shipment from the contractor’s facility. The contractor, representing itself as a small business, small disadvantaged business, and women-owned business, must comply with stringent packaging and marking standards, including MIL-STD-2073-1E for packaging, MIL-DTL-117 Type II Class C Style 1 for specialized containment, and MIL-STD-129 for identification marking, with all shipments subject to destination inspection by the Government under FAR 52.246-2. Invoicing and payment are mandatory through the Wide Area WorkFlow system to the Defense Finance and Accounting Service in Columbus, Ohio, with no alternative systems permitted. The contract incorporates numerous Federal Acquisition Regulation clauses governing ethics, whistleblower protections, cybersecurity safeguards, supply chain security, veteran and disability employment equity, trafficking in persons, sustainable procurement, and prohibition of certain foreign-sourced hardware and services, with deviations applied to select clauses. Traceability documentation, source approval requirements, and removal of government identification from non-accepted supplies are required per referenced documentation codes RC001, RP001, RQ011, and RQ018, and the award was likely made on a lowest price technically acceptable basis due to its minimal value and absence of evaluation factors. The contractor is also bound by obligations related to ocean transportation reporting, hazardous materials handling, antiterrorism training, and cyber incident reporting under DFARS clauses, with no options, extensions, or recurring delivery provisions included.
