The awardee, AVIARMS SUPPORT CORP, identified by CAGE code 58985 and classified as a small business, is required to perform all work at its facility in Farmingdale, NY, with inspection and acceptance occurring at origin. Delivery is due on September 29, 2026, and the product must be shipped FOB origin with government responsibility for transportation costs and risk from that point. The contract mandates strict compliance with military packaging and marking standards including MIL-STD-129 for external labeling, MIL-STD-130N for part-level identification, and ASTM D3951 for packaging integrity, with DLA’s RP001 packaging requirements taking precedence. All packaging must be marked with “Product Verification Test Samples. Do Not Post to Stock” alongside contract and lot numbers, and must include GS1-128 or Data Matrix barcodes for traceability. The item is subject to ITAR/EAR export controls, requiring JCP certification for personnel handling technical data and adherence to DLA’s export control procedures. Payment must be processed exclusively through Wide Area WorkFlow, using approved document types such as invoices and receiving reports, with remittance directed to the Defense Finance and Accounting Service in Columbus, OH. The contract incorporates standard clauses on veteran employment reporting and sustainable products, as well as subcontracting provisions for commercial products. First Article Testing is required unless waived, and sampling must follow MIL-STD-1916 with zero tolerance for critical non-conformances. The contracting office has not identified a specific COR or COTR, with administrative coordination handled through Matthew Wyant, and no option quantities or price adjustments are allowed. The contract reflects a streamlined procurement under a pre-established acquisition vehicle, with no amendments or modifications referenced, and relies entirely on the contractor’s compliance with technical, logistical, and regulatory requirements outlined in DLA and DoD directives.
