INTERFACE UNIT, AUTO

The contract solicitation SPE8EN-26-T-2795 is for the procurement of three Automated Interface Units (NSN 7025-01-525-6687) under simplified acquisition procedures, with a delivery deadline of 167 days from award, targeting acceptance by February 1, 2027, and a primary delivery point at the DDSP New Cumberland facility in Pennsylvania. The technical and quality requirements are governed by the DLA Master List of Technical and Quality Requirements, referenced through R-numbers including RD004, which mandates a Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) Level 2 self-assessment, and RP001, which enforces DLA-specific packaging standards. Packaging must comply with MIL-STD-2073-1E for preservation and handling, with preservation method 10 (cleaning and drying only), and marking and labeling must conform to MIL-STD-129, including 2D Data Matrix barcodes and compliance with OSHA’s Hazard Communication Standard for hazardous materials. The units are to be delivered FOB origin, with no pricing information provided in the solicitation, indicating that offers will be evaluated on technical acceptability and compliance rather than known cost metrics. The contract incorporates a comprehensive set of FAR and DFARS clauses governing cybersecurity, labor compliance, subcontracting, payment procedures, and safety, including 52.240-93 for safeguarding contractor information systems, 252.240-7997 requiring NIST SP 800-171 compliance, 252.204-7012 for cyber incident reporting, and 52.222-36, 52.222-50, and 52.222-54 ensuring equal opportunity, anti-trafficking, and employment eligibility verification. The government will perform inspection and acceptance at the destination point, with payment processed exclusively through WAWF, requiring electronic submission of invoices and receiving reports. The contracting officer, Jennifer Esworthy, is the primary point of contact, and while evaluation factors and basis of award are not explicit, the inclusion of CMMC Level 2 compliance and technical adherence suggests a focus on technical acceptability over lowest price. Offerors must provide a Unique Entity ID and disclose CAGE codes if using covered telecommunications equipment, represent their size and socioeconomic status if claiming preferences,
