ICE CREAM MAKER, SOF

The contract awards a single unit of a Taylor Enterprises soft serve ice cream maker, identified by NSN 4110-01-423-2748, for use on U.S. naval vessels under a Firm Fixed Price arrangement with delivery required within 30 days after order placement. The equipment is a commercial off-the-shelf item designed for 440V AC, 60 Hz, 3-phase power, air-cooled, counter-mounted operation with a 20-quart mixer hopper, and is compatible only with R134A or R404A refrigerants, explicitly excluding flammable R290A due to safety restrictions aboard naval ships. The unit must be submarine-attachable with some disassembly capability, and all packaging, marking, and palletization must adhere to ASTM D3951 and MIL-STD-129, with prioritization given to the DLA Master List of Technical and Quality Requirements. Unique Item Identification (UII) per MIL-STD-130 with machine-readable barcoding using ISO/IEC 15434 Format Indicators is mandatory, and the item must be free of mercury or mercury-containing compounds except for specific functional exceptions like batteries or instruments, which require secondary containment. The equipment falls under a simplified acquisition and is subject to cybersecurity compliance governed by DFARS 252.204-7012, requiring the contractor to implement NIST SP 800-171 Rev 2 safeguards on any information system handling covered defense information, report cyber incidents to DIBNET within 72 hours, and ensure all subcontractors meet equivalent requirements unless the subcontract is for a commercial product or performed outside the U.S. The contractor must also maintain antiterrorism awareness training, inform employees of whistleblower rights, display DoD or DHS fraud hotline posters, and avoid the use of prohibited telecommunications equipment or services. Inspection and acceptance occur at destination under FOB Destination terms, with no pricing provided in the solicitation but an estimated contract value range of $35,000 to $350,000. The solicitation is not a small business set-aside, and submission must be made through DLA’s electronic systems by May 20, 2026, with electronic invoicing mandated via WAWF.
