LIGHT, NAVIGATIONAL,

The contract solicitation SPE8E7-26-T-3536 from the Defense Logistics Agency seeks three units of light navigational equipment with a delivery deadline of 20 days after award, targeting an end location in Jacksonville, North Carolina, though actual shipments may be directed to various military installations such as Camp Pendleton. The item is governed by a suite of strict technical, packaging, and export control requirements, with compliance mandated through the DLA Master List of Technical and Quality Requirements, MIL-STD-129 for labeling, ASTM D3951 for non-hazardous packaging, and FED-STD-313 alongside TQ IP025 for hazardous materials. All packaging must adhere to RP001 standards and be properly palletized, while marking must include mandatory barcoding and data matrix codes per MIL-STD-129, with hazardous material labeling conforming to 29 CFR 1910.1200. Technical data associated with the item is subject to export controls under ITAR or EAR, requiring strict adherence to DFARS 252.225-7048, limiting access to contractors with approved JCP certification, completion of DLA’s export control training, and formal authorization. Inspection and acceptance occur at the destination point by government personnel, applying MIL-STD-1916 or ASQ Z1.4 sampling standards, and the Government retains full authority over acceptance decisions. The contract mandates electronic invoicing via WAWF, with no alternative systems permitted, and payment administration is managed through designated DoDAACs referenced on DD Form 1155. Cybersecurity compliance requires implementation of NIST SP 800-171 controls and adherence to DFARS 252.204-7012 for safeguarding covered defense information and reporting cyber incidents, while prohibitory clauses bar the use of restricted telecommunications equipment and mandate whistleblower protections and employee eligibility verification. Offerors must hold valid UEI and CAGE codes, accurately state their small business status, and comply with FAR/DFARS representations, particularly regarding prohibited foreign ownership or affiliations. Delivery occurs under FOB origin terms, meaning risk transfers to the Government upon carrier receipt, and pricing details are not disclosed in the solicitation, suggesting a potential LPTA or similar award methodology focused on compliance and cost. Proposals must be submitted electronically through DIBBS by August 17, 2026,
