MICROCIRCUIT, LINEAR

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded LINTECH COMPONENTS CO. INC. (CAGE 0N439) a fixed-price contract valued at $23,100.00 for the delivery of seven units of a microcircuit, linear (NSN 5962-01-281-4172), with an award date of July 20, 2026, and a required delivery date of December 28, 2026. The procurement follows a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) source selection method, prioritizing compliance with sourcing, traceability, and technical standards over cost alone, and requires adherence to a strict supplier hierarchy: award goes to the highest-precedence category submitting an acceptable offer—starting with Original Component Manufacturers or approved QPL/QML sources, followed by QSLD distributors with full traceability, and finally QTSL suppliers with comprehensive test data. The contract mandates full supply chain traceability under DLA Procurement Note C03 and prohibits sourcing from covered nations, including China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea, due to FSC 5962’s high-risk classification for counterfeiting. Delivery is FOB origin at the contractor’s facility in Ronkonkoma, NY, with the government arranging and paying for transportation. Packaging must comply with MIL-STD-2073-1E, including ESD and EMI protection using MIL-PRF-81705 Type I or Type III materials from qualified manufacturers on QPL-81705, cushioning material per A-A-59136, and preservation per method code GX. All units must be marked in accordance with MIL-STD-129 and IPC/JEDEC J-STD-609 for lead finish identification, and traceability documentation must be submitted via email using DLA Form 918 with a specific naming convention. Invoicing is exclusively through Wide Area WorkFlow (WAWF), and the contractor must maintain CMMC Level 2 cybersecurity compliance. No options, variations, or substitutions are permitted; the quantity is fixed at seven units. The awardee is a small business with no other socioeconomic designations claimed, and all materials must be new, with no surplus acceptance allowed. Inspection and acceptance occur at the destination by government personnel, and mercury-containing substances are prohibited except under narrowly defined exceptions.
