KNIFE, TACTICAL, SURV

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded a delivery order under contract SPE8EJ-21-D-0032 to Atlantic Diving Supply, Inc. (CAGE 1CAY9), a small business certified as both a Small Disadvantaged Business and a Women-Owned Small Business, for the procurement of six tactical survival knives (NSN 4220015460478) at a total price of $1,217.34. The order, issued on August 2, 2026, with a required delivery date of October 1, 2026, is FOB destination to the USNS JOHN LENTHALL at FPO AE 09577, meaning the contractor bears all transportation costs and risks until the items are received at the destination. The government will conduct inspection and acceptance upon arrival, with no specification of technical standards beyond compliance with contract requirements, though the order is designated as rated under the Defense Priorities and Allocations System, ensuring priority handling for national defense needs. Packaging must include the base contract and delivery order numbers, but no MIL-STD packaging, preservation, or labeling standards are explicitly required, and no barcoding or additional marking instructions are provided. Payment will be processed electronically through the Defense Finance and Accounting Service at P.O. Box 182317, Columbus, OH, under accounting code BX: 97X4930 5CBX 001 2620 S33189, with no option periods, quantity variations, or additional services beyond the line item delivery. The contracting officer is John Cuorato from DLA Troop Support in Philadelphia, with administrative support provided by Stefanie Mason, while no formal Contracting Officer’s Representative is designated. The absence of FAR clauses, detailed inspection criteria, or performance specifications suggests a narrow, price-driven acquisition governed primarily by the terms of the underlying basic contract and administrative directives, with compliance focused on delivery, certification of socioeconomic status, and DPAS priority obligations.
