GAUGE, SIGHT

Offerors must comply with strict domestic sourcing requirements under the Berry Amendment and Buy American Act, with thresholds lowered to $150,000, requiring full disclosure of any non-domestic materials in their quotation. The solicitation prohibits the use of covered telecommunications equipment or services as defined by FAR 52.204-24 and DFARS 252.204-7016, and additive manufacturing is not permitted unless expressly approved in advance. Offerors are strongly encouraged to provide quantity ranges due to the volatile nature of demand and frequent changes in purchase requests, enabling the government to combine or adjust quantities without re-solicitation; however, this does not apply to Auto IDC. Small business joint ventures must submit required representations for eligibility under specific socio-economic categories. All vendors must register through DLA’s new Account Management & Provisioning System to access the Vendor Shipment Module, and those using VSM WebServices must update their internal schema by the specified deadline or lose shipping privileges. Offerors anticipating the ability to quote after the closing date must submit a “No Bid” response on DIBBS with an anticipated quote date or reason for delay to avoid assumptions of non-responsiveness. The item being solicited is a sight gauge with NSN 1615-01-666-8158, quantity of 19 units, due for delivery within 170 days after order award, with Maggie Adams designated as the primary point of contact. Fast Pay is not applicable to this procurement.
