IGNITER, SPARK, FUEL

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded a delivery order under the indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity basic contract SPE3SE-26-D-0003 to Babington Technology, Incorporated, a small disadvantaged and women-owned small business with CAGE code 04AL0, for the procurement of a single ignition electrode with NSN 4520014926662 at a contract price of $43.87. The delivery order, identified as SPE3SE26F0796, was issued on July 19, 2026, with a required delivery date of October 19, 2026, and is governed by F.O.B. origin terms, with final delivery directed to US Army SSA Powidz AB in Poland. The basic contract supports a multi-year performance period spanning 2026 through 2031, with tiered delivery windows and an estimated total potential value ranging from $2.5 million to $25.76 million, though this order represents only a single-line-item purchase. Packaging and marking must follow DoD logistics standards, requiring identification numbers from Blocks 1 and 2 of the procurement form on all packages, though specific MIL-STD references or barcoding requirements are not detailed. Invoicing must comply with DFARS 252.232-7003 and be submitted electronically through a DoD-approved system, with payment processed by the Defense Finance and Accounting Service at Columbus, Ohio, under appropriation code BX: 97X4930 5CBX 001 2620 S33189. Inspection and acceptance occur at the destination by the Government, and the contracting officer is Matthew Conroy, with no designated COR identified. The order falls under a simplified acquisition threshold and lacks explicit evaluation factors or standard FAR clauses, reflecting its low-value, routine procurement nature, but aligns with broader DoD field feeding system requirements under the overarching contract, which includes other essential items like tray ration heaters, kitchen modules, and burner kits.
