HOSE ASSEMBLY, NONME

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded a firm-fixed-price contract to SECO PARTS & EQUIPMENT CO (CAGE 1JUW8), a small business certified as also being a Small Disadvantaged and Woman-Owned Business, for the supply of three nonmetallic hose assemblies (NSN 4720-01-343-0863) at a total contract value of $796.98. The award was made on July 15, 2026, under solicitation SPE7M4-26-T-066B, with a delivery requirement to be completed within 45 days of award, no later than August 31, 2026. The products must be manufactured at the contractor’s facility in Augusta, Georgia, and shipped FOB origin to DLA Dist San Joaquin in Tracy, California, with the government assuming all transportation costs beyond that point. The contract mandates strict compliance with MIL-STD-2073-1E for packaging and MIL-STD-129 for labeling, including special markings that identify shipments as Product Verification Test samples and prohibit stock posting. All packages must include a hard copy of the receiving report and be accompanied by signed documentation such as DD Form 1222. The contractor is required to complete and submit acceptable Product Verification Test results prior to shipment, and samples must be clearly marked and tracked; accepted samples count toward the contract quantity, while rejected ones may be retained by the government. Invoicing must be submitted exclusively through WAWF, and the contractor must adhere to a prohibition on using TikTok or any ByteDance-related applications on any equipment used in performing this contract, a requirement that must be flowed down to all subcontractors. The contract incorporates several far clauses including employment reports on veterans and sustainable products, both under deviation 2026-O0038, and subcontracting for commercial products under deviation 2026-O0015. The contractor’s compliance with federal small business certification and SAM.gov registration is implied through its socioeconomic status and CAGE code usage. No formal evaluation factors or source selection methodology are explicitly stated, but the firm-fixed-price structure, technical compliance thresholds, and destination inspection indicate award was likely made on a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable basis. The contract does not include options, extensions, or price variations, with a fixed quantity and zero tolerance for variance.
