LUMBER, NON-WOOD, DIMENSIONAL

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded BLACK RHINO RECYCLING INC, with CAGE code 0VV93, a fixed-price contract for the delivery of 40 units of non-wood dimensional lumber under solicitation SPE8E6-26-T-3847, with a total contract value of $3,647.60 and an award date of July 29, 2026. Delivery is mandated within 20 days after award, with shipments destined to Fort Bragg, North Carolina under FOB Destination terms. The contract requires strict adherence to MIL-STD-129 for marking, labeling, and barcoding using 2D Data Matrix symbols, incorporating the National Stock Number, contractor identification, quantity, and shipping details, while packaging must comply with ASTM D3951 and DLA’s Master List of Technical and Quality Requirements, with palletization following RP001. Hazardous materials must be labeled according to 29 CFR 1910.1200 and inspected and accepted at the destination point by the government. The contract includes a comprehensive set of federal and defense-specific clauses addressing compliance with cybersecurity standards such as NIST SP 800-171, prohibition of covered telecommunications equipment, trafficking in persons, employment eligibility verification, sustainable products, whistleblower rights, and limitations on the use of mandatory arbitration. Contractors must maintain current UEI and CAGE codes, represent their small business status and socioeconomic certifications in SAM.gov, and comply with electronic invoicing through Wide Area WorkFlow using the Invoice 2in1 format. No specific contract type is defined, though it is structured as a fixed-price line item, with no options or indefinite-delivery provisions specified. Special requirements impose obligations to report cyber incidents within 72 hours, disclose compensation of former DoD officials, and restrict the storage or disposal of hazardous materials on government property. Payment is subject to electronic submission via WAWF and may be subject to levies or adjustments per applicable clauses. The absence of a detailed Statement of Work or formal evaluation factors suggests award was likely based on price and compliance, with no mention of technical evaluation or trade-off considerations.
