GASKET

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded an indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity contract to SOUTHERN CROSS AVIATION, LLC (CAGE 1ZAW4) for the supply of a gasket (NSN 5330002427137) with a maximum value of $350,000.00, issued under solicitation SPE7L1-26-U-0433 and awarded on July 30, 2026. The contract is structured as a unilateral simplified indefinite-delivery contract (SIDC), allowing the Government to issue delivery orders without negotiation, and acceptance of the first order binds the contractor to fulfill all subsequent orders under the same terms. The estimated annual demand is 29 units, with a guaranteed minimum of 4 units, though no unit pricing is specified; the total contract value serves as the binding ceiling. Performance is governed by FOB Origin terms, with deliveries directed to multiple locations as specified in individual orders, and all items must be packaged and marked in strict compliance with MIL-STD-2073-1E, MIL-DTL-117 Type II Class C Style 1, MIL-STD-129, and MIL-STD-130N for packaging, labeling, barcoding, and Item Unique Identification using Data Matrix codes. The contractor must provide Safety Data Sheets for any hazardous materials prior to award, adhere to OSHA’s Hazard Communication Standard for labeling, and ensure any radioactive materials exceeding specified thresholds are properly marked per MIL-STD-129. Invoicing is exclusively through WAWF, with payment processed upon receipt and acceptance at the destination, and the Government retains full rights to all Safety Data Sheet data. Compliance with FAR and DFARS clauses pertaining to employment eligibility, combating human trafficking, safeguarding covered defense information, subcontractor management, and accelerated payments to small business subcontractors is required. The award was made on a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable basis with no formal technical evaluation criteria listed, emphasizing price competitiveness. No attachments or formal evaluation factor weights were documented, and the contract does not specify security clearances, key personnel, or option periods. All deliverables must meet federal regulatory and logistical standards, with the contractor responsible for ensuring conformance at all points prior to delivery.
