LITTER, RIGID, SEA-AI

The contract solicitation SPE2DS-26-T-080P seeks the procurement of two rigid sea-air rescue medical evacuation litters, identified by NSN 6530-01-187-0104, with delivery required within 20 days after order placement at a final destination in Virginia Beach, VA, under FOB destination terms. The litters must meet strict specifications: 80 inches in nominal length and 16.5 inches in width, constructed with a stainless steel or corrosion-resistant metal frame and a cloth stretcher, designed to be foldable, hoistable vertically or horizontally, backpackable without hands, and easily transportable into confined spaces, all in orange coloring. Packaging must comply with ASTM D3951 and the DLA Master List of Technical and Quality Requirements, with palletization and labeling governed by RP001 and MIL-STD-129, respectively, though medical items are subject to the higher precedence of Medical Marking Standard No. 1A. The product must be free of intentional mercury or mercury compounds except in approved functional applications such as batteries or sensors, and any portable fluorescent lamps or instruments containing mercury must have a secondary containment and be shock-proof per NAVSEA 5100-003D. Compliance with hazardous material handling, safety data submission, and prohibition of hexavalent chromium is mandatory, and suppliers must represent their size status and socioeconomic qualifications, including small business or HUBZone status if applicable, and disclose UEI and CAGE codes if providing covered defense telecommunications equipment. All submissions must be made electronically through the DIBBS portal by May 26, 2026, and the award will be subject to a firm-fixed-price contract with payment processed via Wide Area WorkFlow, requiring electronic invoicing and receiving reports. The contract incorporates numerous FAR and DFARS clauses, including cybersecurity safeguards, whistleblower protections, trafficking prohibitions, and restrictions on forced arbitration, all subject to deviations issued in February 2026. Inspection and acceptance will occur at the delivery point by government personnel, with non-conforming items subject to rejection based on adherence to the DLA Master List of Technical and Quality Requirements and associated standards.
