INSERT, SCREW THREAD

The contract entails the procurement of 22 screw thread inserts identified by NSN 5325-01-374-8306 under solicitation SPE4A6-26-T-55A5, issued by the Defense Logistics Agency’s ASC Commodities Division. Delivery is mandated within 170 days after order placement, with the final destination specified as 25600 S CHRISMAN ROAD, REC WHSE 57, Tracy, CA, 95304-5000, under FOB Destination terms, meaning the contractor bears all transportation costs and risks until receipt at the location. The contract type, though not explicitly defined, is governed by FAR 52.216-1 Alternate I under a deviation, indicating potential flexibility in price adjustment, and award will follow a trade-off process evaluating cybersecurity compliance, regulatory adherence, small business status, and technical responsiveness rather than lowest price alone. Mandatory compliance with NIST SP 800-171 and DFARS 252.204-7012 requires the contractor to implement specified safeguards, conduct assessments at Medium or High confidence levels, and support government evaluation, with results documented and submitted via official channels; failure to meet these cybersecurity thresholds may render a proposal non-responsive. Packaging and marking rigorously adhere to MIL-STD-2073-1E and MIL-STD-129, with unitized packaging under code U and electronic data as the intermediate container. Mercury and mercury-containing compounds are strictly prohibited in packaging and preservation unless functionally integral to devices like batteries or instruments, in which case secondary containment and shock-proof design are mandatory. All hazardous materials must be labeled per OSHA’s Hazard Communication Standard, accompanied by Material Safety Data Sheets, and marked in accordance with MIL-STD-129, including barcoding for traceability. Inspection and acceptance occur at destination, where the government verifies conformance with all specifications, including sampling standards under MIL-STD-1916 and zero non-conformances expected per MIL-STD-105. Contractors must provide Unique Entity Identifiers and CAGE codes, disclose joint venture partners if claiming small business status, and maintain current SAM registrations. Electronic invoicing through WAWF is required, and no contract value is stated due to unprovided pricing, though historical data exists. The solicitation closes on May 21, 2026, with all proposals
