KEYBOARD, DATA ENTRY

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded LARKOS PACKING AND DISTRIBUTION INC, with CAGE code 6PZL1, a fixed-price contract valued at $907.91 for the delivery of one unit of a KEYBOARD, DATA ENTRY (NSN 7025015217483) under solicitation SPE8EN-26-T-2675, with an award date of July 28, 2026. Delivery is required by October 24, 2026, under FOB Origin terms with shipment destined to TRACY, CA, and performance is governed by strict compliance with military packaging and marking standards including MIL-STD-2073-1E for preservation and packaging, MIL-STD-129 for labeling and barcoding, and DLA-specific requirement RP001, which mandates avoidance of plastic materials in packaging unless explicitly permitted. The contract includes mandatory cybersecurity safeguards under DFARS clauses 252.204-7012 and 252.240-7997, requiring adherence to NIST SP 800-171 protocols for safeguarding covered defense information and reporting cyber incidents within 72 hours, as well as compliance with the prohibition on covered telecommunications equipment from designated foreign entities. Hazardous materials, if present, must be labeled in accordance with OSHA’s Hazard Communication Standard and accompanied by Safety Data Sheets, with mercury or mercury-containing components strictly prohibited except in specific functional components. Invoicing must be conducted exclusively through the Wide Area WorkFlow system, and the government retains full authority for inspection and acceptance at the destination point. The contract incorporates multiple FAR and DFARS clauses, including alternate clauses for authorization and consent, changes, subcontracting, and small business representation, with deviations noted for several provisions including the System for Award Management maintenance, type of contract, and simplified acquisition terms. The awardee is a small business, as indicated by the use of Alternate I of FAR 52.219-28, and must comply with representations related to compensation of former DOD officials, whistleblower rights, and disclosure controls. No formal evaluation factors or award basis are documented, but the use of simplified acquisition procedures and the low dollar value suggest an LPTA approach. The contract does not include options or extended service periods, and no attachments or formal list of exhibits are referenced.
