GREASE, UTILITY

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded a delivery order under contract SPE4AX16D9008 to ASRC FEDERAL FACILITIES LOGISTICS, LLC (CAGE 79343), a small disadvantaged woman-owned business, for the purchase of one box of utility grease (NSN 9150015478773, Manufacturer part number Mobil XHP222) at a total value of $44.57. The order, issued on July 16, 2026, with a delivery deadline of July 31, 2026, is classified as a simplified acquisition under FAR Part 13, reflecting its low-dollar value and commercial-off-the-shelf nature. The item is to be delivered to Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Washington, at the Navy Cargo Handling Battalion 5 location, with FOB destination terms transferring risk upon arrival. Packaging and shipping must comply with traceable methods only, prohibiting parcel post, and all packages must be marked with the contract number SPE4AX-16-D-9008, delivery order SPE4A6-26-F-CTJT, shipping identifier V81125, transport control number V8146461962463, routing directive 777, and project code OP5, aligning with implied compliance with MIL-STD-129 and MIL-STD-2073 for labeling and preservation, though no explicit standards are cited. The contractor is required to adhere to Defense Priorities and Allocations System (DPAS) regulations under 15 CFR 700, as this is a rated order, mandating priority performance and allocation. Invoicing must follow DFARS 252.232-7003, with payments processed through the Defense Finance and Accounting Service in Columbus, Ohio, and the government representative accountable for final inspection and acceptance at the delivery site. The award was likely made on a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable basis without formal evaluation factors due to the order’s simplicity. The contractor’s socioeconomic certifications as a small disadvantaged woman-owned business trigger compliance obligations under FAR 19.14 and DFARS 219.14, including subcontracting plan reporting. No options, extensions, or additional line items are included, and the contract contains no formal attachments or detailed clauses beyond those incorporated by reference from the basic IDIQ contract,
