INSULATION, THERMAL,

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded S3 Aerodefense LLC, a small business with CAGE code 4GPC1, a fixed-price delivery order valued at $18,860.00 under solicitation SPE4A7-26-T-330N, with an award date of July 21, 2026. The contract covers the procurement of 20 units of thermal insulation (NSN 1560-01-526-6263) at a unit price of $943.00, with no variance allowed in quantity. Delivery is required 649 days after order issuance, with the order date listed as June 2, 2026. Performance occurs at the contractor’s facility in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, with inspections and acceptance conducted at the manufacturer’s site in Los Alamitos, California, under the “Inspection at Origin” clause. The contract mandates strict compliance with MIL-STD-129 for packaging, labeling, and barcoding, along with RP001 for palletization, and requires hazardous material packaging per TQ IP025 and non-hazardous materials per ASTM D3951 unless superseded by the DLA Master List. Product Verification Test samples must be clearly marked and segregated to prevent stock posting. The contract includes standard FAR clauses related to small business utilization, equal opportunity, prompt payment, electronic funds transfer, and contract termination, as well as specialized clauses addressing trafficking in persons, whistleblower rights, cybersecurity (NIST SP 800-171), and restrictions on unmanned aircraft systems from covered foreign entities. A deviation to clause 52.240-91 incorporates governmentwide exclusion and removal orders, and the contractor is bound by DPAS prioritization requirements. Invoicing is exclusively through WAWF, and payment will be made via electronic funds transfer. The manufacturer, Arrowhead Products Corp (CAGE 70628), is subject to the same quality and traceability standards, and the contractor must ensure full compliance with supply chain integrity requirements, including prohibitions on equipment sourced from entities on the Consolidated Screening List. The contractor’s small business status triggers reporting obligations and size verification under FAR Part 19, while cybersecurity and safeguarding obligations require implementation of NIST SP 800-171 controls and mandatory reporting of cyber incidents involving covered defense information. All contractual obligations are governed by federal laws and regulations
