The award, issued on July 15, 2026, through solicitation SPE2D926F7355, is a firm-fixed-price, single-line delivery order with zero quantity variance permitted, indicating a straightforward procurement of a standardized medical supply. The item is to be delivered FOB destination to the USS NITZE DDG 94, via Fleet Post Office, with a strict delivery deadline of July 15, 2026, and must be shipped via the fastest traceable means—parcel post is expressly prohibited. Packaging and labeling must comply with Department of Defense logistics standards, including inclusion of the NSN and CAGE code 00E55, aligning with implied adherence to MIL-STD-129 and MIL-STD-2073 for traceability and preservation. Cardinal Health, Inc., identified by CAGE code 00E55, has represented itself as a small business, small disadvantaged business, and women-owned small business, triggering applicable federal reporting and certification requirements under the FAR and SBA programs. The contract includes administrative details specifying payment through the Defense Finance and Accounting Service with a remit-to address in Columbus, Ohio, and accounting data tied to appropriation code BX: 97X4930 5CBX 001 2620 S33189. The Order is administered by Lisa Quinn, Contracting/Ordering Officer, and supported by Michelle Pampel of DLA Troop Support, with no identified Contracting Officer’s Representative. Inspection and acceptance occur at the destination by Government representatives, and compliance is based on the contract’s specifications and referenced DLA procedural notes C19 and C20. While formal contract clauses, evaluation factors, and attachments are not listed in the provided documentation, the nature of the procurement, minimal value, and absence of technical evaluation criteria suggest the award was made on a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable basis, consistent with routine commodity acquisitions under DLA’s indefinite-delivery vehicle.
