THERMOMETER, SELF-IN

Defense Logistics Agency Aviation awarded an indefinite delivery contract to Kessler Thermometer Corp for the production and delivery of bimetallic self-indicating thermometers. The contract, under delivery order SPE4A625D5131, established a five-year base period with a maximum total value of 250,000.00 dollars. The agreement specified a unit price of 80.00 dollars for the thermometers, with a guaranteed minimum of 29 units in the first year and a maximum of 117 units per delivery order. Additional requirements included a first article test priced at 395.00 dollars, with strict adherence to MIL-STD packaging, marking, and identification standards, including Unique Item Identification. The contract mandated that inspection be conducted at the source in West Babylon, New York, while formal acceptance occurred at the destination. Performance was governed by a variety of FAR and DFARS clauses covering cybersecurity, safeguarding of covered defense information, and whistleblower protections. Invoicing was required electronically through the Wide Area WorkFlow system. However, modification P00002 subsequently served as a unilateral action to cancel the award in its entirety and delete all contract line items at no cost to the government following the cancellation of the overarching long term contract.
