LIDOCAINE GEL

The contract solicitation SPE2DP-26-T-4273 seeks the procurement of one box of LIDOCAINE GEL 4% with ALOE VERA, identified by NSN 6505-01-695-6400, under the NAICS code 424210, with delivery required by July 27, 2026, within a five-day window after order placement. The delivery must be made to Fort Bragg, North Carolina, with FOB destination terms, and inspection and acceptance will occur at the delivery point. Packaging must comply with MIL-STD-2073-1E and DLA’s RP001 packaging requirements, with preservation methods and materials yet to be determined but subject to a 24-month shelf life and a strict 3-month limit from manufacture to delivery, classifying the item as a Type 01 Shelf Life Item. Marking follows Medical Marking Standard No. 1, which supersedes MIL-STD-129 for medical acquisitions, requiring specific government instructions, barcoding, and hazard labeling consistent with OSHA’s Hazard Communication Standard; radioactive material thresholds trigger additional MIL-STD-129 labeling and notification obligations. All hazardous materials require submission of Safety Data Sheets prior to award, and ocean transportation must use U.S.-flag vessels unless a waiver is obtained 45 days in advance. Offerors must submit proposals electronically via the DIBBS portal by August 3, 2026, using Standard Form 18, with no page limits but mandatory disclosure of CAGE and UEI codes, size status, and any involvement in defense telecommunications equipment or joint ventures. Compliance with FAR and DFARS clauses is extensive, including representations on small business status, employment eligibility, combating human trafficking, sustainable products, and NIST SP 800-171 cybersecurity requirements, with deviations applied for subcontracting and cybersecurity assessment rules. Invoicing is mandatory through WAWF, and payment will be processed via a designated DoDAAC assigned upon award. No pricing data is provided in the solicitation, and the award method—whether LPTA or best-value trade-off—is left to the Contracting Officer’s discretion. Critical administrative details such as the Contracting Officer’s Representative, the exact payment office, and appropriation data will be finalized in the award document.
