LENS, LIGHT

The contract concerns the procurement of 60 units of a technical item identified as "LENS, LIGHT" with the National Stock Number 6220-01-283-0384, to be delivered within 151 days after order. It is issued under solicitation number SPE4A7-26-T-242M by the Department of Defense’s ASC Supplier Operations AE and AF Division, with performance location in Tracy, California. The solicitation is managed through the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA), and responses are due by April 21, 2026. The contract requires compliance with stringent cybersecurity standards, specifically the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification Level 2, both for self-assessment and third-party assessment. Additionally, the contract mandates adherence to requirements related to physical identification and bare item marking, as well as the safeguarding of covered defense information. A critical aspect of this contract involves export control restrictions on the technical data associated with the lens and light equipment. The data are subject to International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) or Export Administration Regulations (EAR), meaning that any transfer of technical data to foreign persons or entities requires prior authorization from the Department of State or Commerce. Access to this export-controlled technical information is limited to DLA contractors who possess specific certifications under the US/Canada Joint Certification Program, have completed required training on handling export-controlled data, and have received approval from the controlling authority. This ensures that sensitive technical information remains protected throughout the procurement process, aligning with DFARS 252.225-7048 compliance obligations.
