HANDLE, MANUAL CONTROL

The contract solicitation SPE7L1-26-T-878B seeks 73 units of a manual control handle, identified by NSN 5340-01-340-8914, under a federal procurement administered by the Defense Logistics Agency through its Land Supply Chain office. The solicitation is open for responses through the DIBBS portal with a deadline of August 6, 2026, and requires all submissions to comply with full Federal Acquisition Regulation and Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement requirements. Offerors must provide their Unique Entity Identifier and CAGE code, represent their small business status including any applicable socioeconomic categories such as HUBZone, 8(a), WOSB, or SDVOSB, and disclose any involvement with covered defense telecommunications equipment or services. The contract imposes stringent compliance obligations including employment eligibility verification, equal opportunity for workers with disabilities, combating human trafficking, sustainable product usage, and mandatory Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification alignment through NIST SP 800-171 assessment requirements. Contractors are also bound by prohibitions on hexavalent chromium, toxic material storage, and acquisition of items from Chinese military companies, alongside requirements for whistleblower protections and disclosure of government work product. Performance and delivery are governed by an FOB Origin clause, with the sole place of performance being the DDSP New Cumberland Facility in Pennsylvania, where the government will inspect and accept all items upon receipt. Packaging and labeling must adhere to MIL-STD-129 with barcoding for traceability, ASTM D3951 for non-hazardous materials, and TQ IP025 or FED-STD-313 for hazardous items, with palletization following DLA’s RP001 standard. Safety Data Sheets must be submitted in advance, and all hazardous materials must be labeled per OSHA’s Hazard Communication Standard. Invoicing is mandatory through the Wide Area WorkFlow system using approved document types including Invoice 2in1 or Invoice and Receiving Report, with payment processed via DoDAAC-based routing. While pricing details are absent from the contract line item table, the absence of a specified contract type and lack of defined evaluation factors suggest this solicitation may be structured to receive competitive quotes under a Low Price Technically Acceptable framework with award based on price and full compliance with technical, safety, and regulatory requirements outlined across multiple FAR and DFARS clauses.
