HANDLE, MANUAL CONTROL

The contract pertains to the procurement of two units of a manual control handle identified by NSN 5340-01-207-1644, with delivery required 247 days after award, no later than October 14, 2026, to the specified location in Tracy, CA. The item is subject to stringent packaging and marking requirements aligned with MIL-STD-2073-1E, MIL-STD-129, and MIL-STD-130N, including adherence to DLA’s RP001 standards for palletization and the prohibition of mercury or mercury compounds in packaging or preservation materials. Preservation must follow the cleaning and drying method (PRES MTHD:10) without additional preservation material. All items must be properly marked with barcodes per MIL-STD-129 and labeled according to hazard communication standards, with Safety Data Sheets required for any hazardous materials prior to award. Technical data associated with the item is controlled under ITAR or EAR, restricting export and disclosure to foreign persons unless the contractor holds a valid US/Canada Joint Certification Program certification, has completed mandatory DLA training and questionnaire, and has been formally approved by DLA for access. The contract mandates full compliance with FAR and DFARS clauses covering employment equity, counter-trafficking, eligibility verification, sustainable products, hazardous material handling, and cybersecurity under NIST SP 800-171. Invoicing must be processed exclusively through Wide Area WorkFlow, and payment is contingent on government acceptance at the destination point, with inspection governed by zero-based sampling plans per MIL-STD-1916 and ASQ H1331, demanding zero non-conformances for critical attributes. The solicitation is issued under SPE7L1-26-T-843B, with offers due by July 27, 2026, via the DIBBS platform, and while the contract type is not explicitly defined, it incorporates clauses allowing for alternate contract structures. Compliance with representation requirements, including UEI and CAGE code identification and socioeconomic status declarations, is mandatory for offerors, though actual data has not been submitted. FOB terms conflict between origin and destination, suggesting potential ambiguity in transportation cost allocation. All subcontractors must flow down applicable export control, safety, and packaging obligations, and no contract value is disclosed in the solicitation.
