IBUPROFEN TABLETS

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded a delivery order under the basic indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract SPE2DX-25-D-8022 to Cardinal Health, Inc. (CAGE 00E55), a certified small business, for the procurement of two bottles of ibuprofen tablets (NSN 6505012149062) at a total value of $168.92. The award, issued on July 18, 2026, is for immediate delivery to the USS CHARLESTON (LCS 18) at FPO AP 96694, with a required delivery date of July 20, 2026. Performance is governed by FOB destination terms, meaning the contractor bears all transportation costs and risks until the goods reach the destination, where the government conducts inspection and acceptance. Packaging and labeling must include the basic contract number SPE2DX-25-D-8022, the delivery order number SPE2D9-26-F-7426, the NSN, and the contractor’s CAGE code, though no specific packaging standards, preservation methods, or barcoding requirements are mandated. The order specifies zero variance in quantity and permits medical substitution as defined by DLA guidelines, with no option periods or additional line items. Payment is administered by the Defense Finance and Accounting Service in Columbus, Ohio, using electronic data interchange through voucher submission, and is tied to the accounting code 97X4930 5CBX 001 2620 S33189 and project number 7017552921. The contracting officer is Lisa Quinn, with administrative oversight provided by the DLA Troop Support, Med Supply Chain FSB in Philadelphia, and no designated contracting officer’s representative is listed. The award reflects a streamlined, low-value acquisition consistent with lowest price technically acceptable methodology, with no formal evaluation factors, clause citations, or special requirements beyond basic delivery, identification, and payment instructions. The contractor’s small business status triggers federal reporting obligations but no other socioeconomic certifications are claimed.
