LIFE PRESERVER, VEST

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded a delivery order under the basic contract SPE8EJ21D0032 to Atlantic Diving Supply, Inc. (CAGE 1CAY9) for the procurement of ten life preserver vests, identified by NSN 4220014873201, at a firm-fixed unit price of $196.73, resulting in a total contract value of $1,967.30. The order was issued on July 15, 2026, with delivery required by December 22, 2026, to the USS BATAN LHD 5 at FPO AE 09554 under FOB destination terms, placing all transportation costs and risks on the contractor until receipt at the destination. The item is a standard military item, and acceptance is contingent upon government inspection at the delivery point, with no technical specifications or performance standards beyond contractual conformity explicitly stated. The contractor, representing itself as a small business, small disadvantaged business, and women-owned small business, is subject to related federal compliance obligations, including limitations on subcontracting and ongoing program eligibility verification. All packages must be marked with the contract numbers SPE8EJ21D0032 and SPE8EJ26F029S using block text, and shipments must be sent via the fastest traceable method, explicitly prohibiting parcel post. Invoicing is mandated through Wide Area WorkFlow in accordance with DFARS 252.232-7003, payable by the Defense Finance and Accounting Service in Columbus, Ohio, with an alternate ACH remittance address provided. No formal packaging standards such as MIL-STDs are referenced, though the requirement for traceable shipment implies a need to protect item integrity during transit. There are no option quantities, price escalations, or modification numbers listed, and the procurement is structured as a single-line, fixed-price delivery order with no flexibility in quantity. No contracting officer’s representative, technical evaluation factors, or special clauses beyond invoicing and delivery requirements are identified in the documentation, indicating a streamlined, price-driven award consistent with lowest price technically acceptable methodology.
