HOUSING, OIL COOLER

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded Contract SPE7L126V6420 to OPTIPLEX LLC, identified by CAGE code 13WM9, for the procurement of a single housing unit for an oil cooler with National Stock Number 2930-01-475-3487. The contract was initially issued on March 9, 2026, with a proposed unit price of $145.00 and an extended value of $145.00. However, the award was unilaterally modified on July 14, 2026, under FAR 13.004(C), and the contract line item was officially canceled, reducing the total contract value to $0.00. The contract was classified as a commercial item acquisition, and the North American Industry Classification System code 332410 indicates it falls under fabricated metal product manufacturing. Despite the initial award being posted on DIBBS, no active delivery schedule, place of performance, FOB terms, or payment and invoicing instructions were finalized or documented in the available records. The contracting officer, Jessica Ramsey of DLA Land and Maritime in Columbus, Ohio, is the sole point of contact, with no Contracting Officer’s Representative or technical representative identified. Packaging and marking requirements align with standard Department of Defense practices for NSN-coded items, suggesting adherence to MIL-STD-129R and MIL-STD-130 for labeling, barcoding, and preservation, though no formal specifications or MIL-STD references were explicitly cited in the documentation. Inspection and acceptance authority rests solely with the government, with no delivery or inspection location specified, and acceptance would occur at a government-controlled facility. The contractor’s physical address in Chicago, Illinois, was provided for administrative purposes but is not confirmed as the delivery point. No socioeconomic certifications, small business status confirmations, or mandatory representations were indicated in the award file. The modification document referenced FAR 43.103(b) for procedural compliance but did not include the full complement of standard FAR clauses or attachments. Evaluation factors, source selection criteria, and award rationale were not documented, and no continuation sheets containing accounting data, appropriation codes, or technical specifications were provided. The contract’s sole purpose was administrative cancellation, leaving no enforceable obligations, performance period, or financial commitment active.
