The contract calls for the procurement of 10 units of a worm gear assembly with NSN 3020012403424 and part number NYLC1617 from GE Aviation Systems LLC, under solicitation SPE4A5-26-T-160L. The delivery is required 171 days after award, with a target delivery date of March 3, 2027, and a need-to-ship date of November 15, 2026. Items must be delivered FOB origin, meaning the contractor assumes all transportation responsibilities and risks until the goods reach the designated destination: DLA Distribution Depot Oklahoma at Tinker Air Force Base. Inspection and acceptance occur at the destination, with quality assurance governed by MIL-STD-1916, ASQ H1331 Table 1, or an equivalent zero-based sampling plan; critical, major, and minor attributes must be verified using AQLs of 0.1, 1.0, and 4.0 respectively, with zero non-conformances required unless otherwise specified. Packaging must comply with ASTM D3951, subject to higher-priority DLA Master List of Technical and Quality Requirements, and must be marked and labeled per MIL-STD-129, including barcoding and proper identification of unit of issue and quantity per unit pack. Palletization must follow RP001 DLA Packaging Requirements for Procurement. The contract explicitly prohibits deviations in quantity—zero variance is permitted—and mandates full compliance with all applicable regulatory and safety standards, including hazardous material handling under 29 CFR 1910.1200 and prohibitions on hexavalent chromium. FAR clauses such as 52.216-1 ALT I confirm the use of a deviation-approved contract type, while 52.227-1 ALT I and II address authorization and consent provisions. Contractors must register with SAM, provide Unique Entity Identifiers and CAGE codes, and comply with cybersecurity requirements under 252.204-7012, trafficking prohibitions under 52.222-50, and employment eligibility verification under 52.222-54. Subcontractors must flow down key clauses related to hazardous materials and U.S.-flag vessel usage, and all invoices must be submitted electronically via Wide Area WorkFlow.
