KNIFE, SLICING MACHI

The contract concerns the procurement of one unit of a slicing knife, identified by part number 3675-00070 and national stock number 7320-01-315-0740, sourced from the CAGE code 61482. The solicitation, numbered SPE3SE-26-T-0801, was issued on May 18, 2026, with responses due by May 22, 2026, and requires delivery within 20 days after receipt of order to the FPO address associated with USS NEW ORLEANS LPD 18. Although pricing details are not provided in the contract documents, the procurement falls under simplified acquisition procedures and is likely structured as a fixed-price contract, as evidenced by the inclusion of relevant FAR clauses such as 52.243-1 and 52.246-2. All deliveries must adhere to DLA-specific packaging and labeling standards, specifically RP001 for palletization, MIL-STD-129 for marking and barcoding, and ASTM D3951 for commercial packaging, with the DLA Master List of Technical and Quality Requirements superseding any conflicting standards. The item is not to contain or come into contact with ozone-depleting substances or intentionally added mercury, except in specified functional applications such as batteries or sensors, and must comply with hazard communication regulations, including the provision of safety data sheets and proper labeling under 29 CFR 1910.1200. The contract mandates electronic submission of all documentation through the DIBBS portal and requires compliance with Wide Area WorkFlow for payment and receiving reports. Cybersecurity requirements are enforced through clauses such as 252.204-7012 and 252.240-7997, with deviations approved for certain NIST SP 800-171 and safeguarding standards. The contractor must also affirm representations regarding small business status, UEI and CAGE codes, and any involvement with covered defense telecommunications equipment. Inspection and acceptance occur at the destination by government representatives, and all shipments must be labeled per military and hazardous material regulations. No contractual options, set-asides, or evaluation factors beyond compliance are explicitly defined, and the award method, while not stated, is presumed to be price-based under simplified acquisition rules.
