The contract pertains to the procurement of a Needle, Dispensing, Fiber Optic, for End Item and a Tool Kit Splice Fiber Optic, identified by NSN 6515-01-532-2085, with a total quantity of 10 units delivered across eight CLINs in quantities of one or two each. Delivery is required within five days after the date of order, with FOB destination terms applying to multiple specified locations including naval vessels and a primary delivery point in West Bath, Maine. All items must be commercially packaged in sealed, protective containers to prevent damage during transit, with exterior shipping containers selected to ensure safe and cost-effective delivery via common carriers.

Marking must include U/I, QUP, and other data per MMS No. 1, with 2D barcodes required for traceability. Technical and quality compliance is governed by the DLA Master List of Technical and Quality Requirements referenced under RA001, and all supplies are subject to destination inspection by the government under FAR 52.246-2. Invoicing must be submitted through WAWF, and the contractor must comply with cybersecurity requirements including NIST SP 800-171, safeguarding covered defense information, and prohibitions on the use of certain telecommunications equipment. The contract includes clauses on equal opportunity, combating human trafficking, employment verification, sustainable products, hazardous material identification, and whistleblower protections. Contractors must provide a UEI and CAGE code and disclose socioeconomic status, including any small business, WOSB, SDVOSB, or HUBZone certifications. The contract type remains unspecified but is anticipated to be fixed-price. The solicitation was issued on May 27, 2026, with a response deadline of June 2, 2026, through DIBBS, under the authority of the Department of Defense’s Medical Supply Chain, with Olusola Emmanuel as the primary point of contact.
