LIFT, THRUST DEVICE

The contract solicitation SPE7M4-26-Q-0929 seeks three units of a LIFT, THRUST DEVICE identified by NSN 4910-01-120-8846 for delivery to DLA Distribution Puget Sound in Bremerton, WA, with a required delivery date of December 4, 2026. The item is subject to strict export control under ITAR or EAR, requiring any party accessing related technical data to hold an approved US/Canada Joint Certification Program certification, complete DLA-specific training on export-controlled data handling, and receive prior authorization from DLA. Technical data may not be disclosed to foreign nationals, regardless of location. Packaging and marking must strictly comply with MIL-STD-2073-1E for preservation and MIL-STD-129 for labeling and barcoding using Code 39 or PDF417 symbology, with dry preservation methods and bag wrapping, no cushioning, and controlled dunnage. The contract requires electronic invoicing through WAWF with payment processing tied to DoDAAC codes, and delivery is FOB ORIGIN, though inspection and acceptance occur at destination. The solicitation references mandatory compliance with CMMC Level 2 cybersecurity certification and handling of covered defense information. While the contract type is not formally stated, it is likely a Firm-Fixed-Price arrangement under Simplified Acquisition Procedures due to the single-line item and small quantity. The award will be based on a best value trade-off considering past performance, delivery capability, and price, rather than a lowest price technically acceptable approach. All offerors must be registered in SAM.gov and WAWF, and submit proposals electronically by August 13, 2026, through DLA’s eProcurement system, with no pricing provided in the solicitation as it is pre-award. A small business set-aside is indicated, but no offeror responses or certifications are present in the document, leaving all socioeconomic status fields blank.
