HANDWHEEL

The Defense Logistics Agency, under the Department of Defense, is soliciting two handwheel units identified by NSN 5340-01-436-4613 through solicitation SPE7L1-26-T-876P, with responses due by August 6, 2026. While the total contract value is listed at $1,594.75 across five line items with varying unit prices ranging from $113.10 to $364.00, the procurement is structured under a simplified acquisition process as defined by FAR 52.213-4 and classified under NAICS code 332510 for machine shop services. The delivery is to be made FOB destination within 20 days of solicitation issuance, with the Government responsible for inspection and acceptance at the final delivery point. Packaging must strictly conform to MIL-STD-2073-1E using CLNG/DRY preservation methods, and all items must be marked per MIL-STD-129 with standardized barcoding and labeling, while explicitly prohibiting mercury compounds in both packaging and preservation. Transportation of supplies by sea requires the use of U.S.-flag vessels unless waived, and electronic invoicing through Wide Area WorkFlow (WAWF) is mandatory, with no alternative invoicing methods permitted. Cybersecurity compliance is enforced under DFARS 252.204-7012 and NIST SP 800-171 for safeguarding covered defense information, and subcontracting for commercial products must adhere to DFARS 252.244-7999. Contractors must affirm representations regarding small business status, UEI and CAGE codes, and compliance with prohibitions on acquiring defense telecommunications equipment from Chinese military companies or using hexavalent chromium. The contract includes a full suite of FAR and DFARS clauses covering contract type, changes, inspection, default, payment acceleration for small business subcontractors, whistleblower protections, hazardous materials handling, and restrictions on mandatory arbitration agreements. No evaluation factors or specific technical specifications beyond packaging and marking standards are provided, and the award will likely follow a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable approach, though this is not explicitly stated. All proposals must be submitted electronically via the DIBBS portal, and the point of contact for inquiries is Michael Nordahl at DLA’s Land and Maritime supply chain office.
