HINGE ASSEMBLY, MARI

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded JUNIPER ELBOW CO. INC. a firm fixed-price delivery order under solicitation SPE7M4-25-T-265E for one HINGE ASSEMBLY, MARI (NSN 2040-01-605-6877) at a total price of $675.00, with an estimated delivery date of August 4, 2026, to DLA Distribution Yokosuka, Japan. The contract specifies F.O.B. Destination terms and mandates compliance with DLA’s packaging and marking standards, including MIL-STD-129 for labeling and barcoding, ASTM D3951 for general packaging, and RP001 for palletization, with DLA’s Master List of Technical and Quality Requirements taking precedence. The contractor must use the Wide Area WorkFlow (WAWF) system for all invoicing and payment requests and is subject to U.S. cargo preference requirements under 10 U.S.C. 2643, requiring ocean transport via U.S.-flag vessels unless a waiver is obtained. The contract incorporates numerous FAR and DFARS clauses covering whistleblower protections, antiterrorism training, electronic part traceability, export controls, sustainable products, paid sick leave, veteran employment reporting, prompt payment, subcontracting for commercial items, and termination clauses. The awardee is certified as a small, small disadvantaged, and women-owned business, triggering associated reporting obligations in SAM and potential subcontracting plan requirements. The contract includes DFARS clauses on compensation limits for former DOD officials, anti-counterfeit part detection, and prohibition of fluorinated firefighting agents, and is governed by the Defense Priorities and Allocations System (DPAS), which requires contract performance prioritization and flow-down of requirements to subcontractors. No evaluation factors or award basis are explicitly stated, but the simplified acquisition structure, single line item, and fixed price suggest an LPTA approach. All deliveries must undergo government inspection and acceptance at the destination, and the contractor is required to maintain supply chain traceability documentation and ensure compliance with all applicable quality, packaging, and regulatory standards.
