INDICATOR, HUMIDITY,

The contract solicitation SPE4A5-26-T-158P issued by the Defense Logistics Agency under the Department of Defense seeks 76 humidity indicators, identified by NSN 6685-01-045-0469, with a required delivery date of October 16, 2026, and a need ship date of November 15, 2026, under FOB origin terms to DLA Distribution Depot Oklahoma at Tinker Air Force Base. The solicitation requires strict adherence to MIL-STD-2073-1E for packaging and preservation using Method 51 (Cleaning and Drying), and MIL-STD-129 for all marking, labeling, and barcoding, including compliance with hazardous material documentation under 29 CFR 1910.1200 and Federal Standard No. 313, with submission of Safety Data Sheets and label copies for review prior to award. Inspection and acceptance occur at destination, governed by federal and DLA quality standards including MIL-STD-1916 or MIL-STD-105/ASQ Z1.4 sampling procedures, and contractors must ensure compliance with all applicable defense acquisition regulations including restrictions on covered telecommunications equipment and prohibited substances like hexavalent chromium. The contract mandates use of WAWF for all invoicing and receiving reports, with no alternative invoicing systems permitted, and requires offerors to provide Unique Entity Identifiers, CAGE codes, and socioeconomic status certifications such as Small Business, HUBZone, WOSB, SDVOSB, or SDB, with eligibility verification tied to 13 CFR Part 121 and specific joint venture disclosure rules. Special conditions require affirmative representations regarding hazardous materials, with penalties for noncompliance including nonresponsibility determinations, and contractors must update hazard data throughout performance if material composition changes. The solicitation includes a full suite of FAR and DFARS clauses covering labor rights, trafficking prevention, employment verification, cybersecurity safeguards including NIST SP 800-171 compliance, whistleblower protections, and prohibitions on unauthorized obligations and arbitration agreements, while the type of contract remains pending insertion by the contracting officer. No pricing data is provided in the solicitation, and while past purchase history exists, the award basis remains unspecified, though simplified acquisition procedures and possible preferential pricing for small businesses suggest a potential LPTA or price-based evaluation leveraging automated screening tools.
