AI Contract Overview
The contract specifies the procurement of 1,000 civilian retired U.S. Army lapel buttons with NSN 8455-00-198-3753 under solicitation SPE1C1-26-Q-0373, issued by the Department of Defense through C and T Supply Chain. The item must be manufactured and packaged in strict compliance with MIL-L-11484, with each button mounted on a white Bristol board or equivalent card measuring approximately 1 3/4 inches square and sealed in chemically inert clear plastic to prevent damage to the metal finish. Air Force civilian lapel buttons are exempt and require individual packaging in a rigid hinged plastic box with a transparent lid and opaque bottom, secured on a polyethylene pad to restrict movement. One hundred individually packaged buttons are packed in an ASTM-grade cardboard intermediate box, and contractors may optionally group these into commercial shipping containers that provide adequate protection against corrosion, deterioration, or damage during transit. Marking must adhere to MIL-STD-129 and MIL-HDBK-129, including NSN, contractor CAGE code, nomenclature, packing date, contract number, and, for intermediate and shipping containers, contractor address, lot and shipment numbers, and delivery address, with bar-coding required for specified entries. Palletization is mandatory when economically feasible, using four-way winged pallets in accordance with MIL-HDBK-774. First article testing requires submission of five samples, with written notification of acceptance or rejection within thirty calendar days of receipt. Inspection and acceptance occur at the destination under FAR 52.246-2, and all packaging and handling must meet DLA packaging requirements. The contract is firm fixed price with zero variance allowed, delivery is due in 192 days after contract award, and the destination is Arizona Industries for the Blind in Phoenix, Arizona. The use of MIL-STD-105E is canceled; future applications should reference MIL-STD-1916 or ANSI/ASQ Z1.4, subject to evaluation for applicability.
