Government Surplus Material Sourcing & Verification

The contract requires the source, inspection, and certification of a surplus clevis latch identified by NSN 5342-00-082-5341, which must be new, unused, unaltered, and fully traceable to U.S. Government ownership with complete provenance documentation. All items must be verified to ensure they have not been modified, refurbished, or diverted from their original military supply chain, and the supplier must provide detailed records confirming the item’s history from initial acquisition through current availability. The work falls under NAICS code 423830 and is structured as a subcontract under the Defense Logistics Agency, part of the Department of Defense, with performance tied to the government’s surplus material recovery and redistribution protocols. The solicitation, posted on July 15, 2026, is managed through the DIBBS platform with contract number SPE4A726PD885, indicating it is part of a broader effort to recover and validate government surplus components for potential reissue or disposal in compliance with federal regulations. Full documentation of origin, custody chain, and inspection results is mandatory, and the successful vendor must demonstrate the ability to authenticate the item’s government heritage without reliance on third-party or commercial sources. The requirement emphasizes accountability, integrity, and strict adherence to defense supply standards to prevent the introduction of non-compliant or counterfeit parts into government inventories.
