GASKET

DLA awarded Contract SPE4AX26F280P to DERCO AEROSPACE, INC. (CAGE 8X044) on July 14, 2026, under Delivery Order SPE4A520DP002, for the supply of military-grade hardware components under a Firm Fixed Price structure. The contract includes a single line item for a gasket (NSN 5330015176993) with a total awarded value of $479.00, though broader contract documentation references numerous additional line items with identical pricing of $150.00 per unit and quantities up to 99,999 units each, suggesting a much larger potential value under the same delivery order framework. Performance is governed by FOB Origin terms, with inspection and acceptance conducted by the Government at the contractor’s facility. Payment will be processed exclusively through Wide Area WorkFlow (WAWF), with remittance directed to the Defense Finance and Accounting Service in Columbus, Ohio, and the DoDAAC SL4701 used for payment routing. The contract incorporates key regulatory clauses including safeguards for covered defense information, cyber incident reporting, Buy American Act Alternate I requirements, and the strict U.S.-flag vessel mandate for ocean transport under DFARS 252.247-7023, which requires prior approval for any foreign-flag vessel use and mandates detailed reporting and certifications. The awardee is self-certified as a small disadvantaged business and a women-owned small business, and the acquisition was conducted under a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable methodology, with no technical or performance evaluation factors detailed beyond adherence to specifications and zero tolerance for quantity variance. No attachments, packaging specifications, or explicit COTR/COR assignments are provided, and technical specifications beyond NSN alignment are not stated, with compliance determined through government acceptance. Delivery timelines are placeholder-based, with some items referenced for a 330-day delivery window post-order, but formal schedules are subject to future modification. The contract administration point of contact is Ray Gryder, with Andrew Davitt serving as the authorized signing official.
