HOSE, NONMETALLIC

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded Phoenix Trading Inc. a firm-fixed-price contract valued at $32,760.00 for the procurement of a nonmetallic hose identified by NSN 4720015884669 under solicitation SPE7M4-26-T-6362, with the award issued on July 13, 2026. The contract was awarded through simplified acquisition procedures under FAR 13.302(a) and 12.303(a), indicating a streamlined process typical for commercial items at this price point. The contractor’s place of performance is in Rockville, Maryland, and the administering office is DLA Land and Maritime’s Fluid Handling Division, with Michael Finken serving as the Contracting Officer. No detailed technical specifications, performance requirements, or inspection criteria are included in the available documentation beyond the general item description, and no packaging, marking, or preservation standards such as MIL-STD-129 are referenced. The only explicitly incorporated clause is FAR 52.222-90, which mandates compliance with federal non-discrimination policies related to diversity, equity, and inclusion, requiring the contractor to affirm adherence to these principles without imposing specific affirmative action obligations beyond the clause’s terms. There is no indication of socioeconomic certifications, size status, or unique entity identification provided by the awardee, and no Contracting Officer’s Representative or technical oversight personnel are named. Payment instructions cite the DLA Land and Maritime office in Columbus, Ohio, but specific invoicing mechanisms like WAWF or IPP are not confirmed. The award notice lacks a formal Section C statement of work, Section E inspection provisions, or itemized pricing breakdowns, and no attachments, evaluation factors, or source selection methodology were disclosed, leaving the basis of award—whether LPTA or best value—unspecified. The contract modification was issued unilaterally under FAR authority, with no option periods or extended delivery terms indicated, and all delivery is expected under the terms of the firm-fixed-price agreement contingent on the identified NSN.
