The solicitation SPE7L1-26-T-876N, issued by the Defense Logistics Agency under the Department of Defense, seeks a single unit of item NSN 3040-01-542-1286 under FOB Origin terms with a 20-day delivery window, to be shipped to USS MAHAN DDG 72 at FPO AE 09578. The offering period closes on August 6, 2026, and submissions are exclusively electronic via the DLA Internet Bid Board System (DIBBS), with no paper proposals accepted. Contract performance must comply with stringent military and federal standards including MIL-STD-2073-1E for packaging and preservation, and MIL-STD-129 for marking, labeling, and barcoding, which mandates both data matrix and linear barcodes for automated tracking. Hazardous materials, if applicable, require compliance with 29 CFR 1910.1200, including submission of Safety Data Sheets prior to award and proper labeling per federal and agency regulations. Inspection and acceptance occur at the destination, with the government retaining full authority under FAR 52.246-2. The contract incorporates a comprehensive set of FAR and DFARS clauses governing small business representation, cybersecurity (NIST SP 800-171), subcontractor management (with 252.244-7999 replacing 52.244-6), accelerated payments to small business subcontractors, employment eligibility, anti-trafficking requirements, and safeguarding of covered defense information. Payment must be requested through the Wide Area WorkFlow system, and all contractors must maintain an active SAM registration with a valid Unique Entity Identifier and CAGE code. Offerors are required to declare their small business status and socioeconomic classifications, with potential HUBZone price evaluation preference applying. While the contract value is not yet established due to blank pricing fields, the award basis is expected to be lowest price technically acceptable, consistent with automated micro-purchase practices. Special provisions prohibit the use of covered telecommunications equipment, mandate cyber incident reporting, and require compliance with the Supplier Performance Risk System. No formal evaluation factors or weights are outlined, but technical compliance with referenced standards and adherence to regulatory requirements will be decisive.
