NOUN: ROD,PISTON,LINEAR A/NSN: 1650005571510HS/ PN: 68A692553-2001

The contract solicitation SPRTA126Q0945, issued by the Department of Defense’s DLA Aviation at Oklahoma City, seeks the procurement of a piston rod, linear A, identified by NSN 1650005571510 and part number 68A692553-2001, under a firm-fixed-price contract with a quantity range of 2 to 6 units. Performance is required at Hill AFB, Utah, with delivery terms set at F.O.B. Origin, meaning the contractor is responsible for delivery to the specified facility and associated transportation costs. The contract demands strict compliance with UID marking standards per MIL-STD-130N, including Construct 2 format with CAGE code and serial number elements, and requires all items to be permanently and machine-readable marked. The contractor must also implement a counterfeit electronic part detection and avoidance system, adhere to DFARS supply chain security requirements, and comply with cybersecurity mandates including CMMC certification, annual self-assessments, and flow-down obligations to subcontractors handling controlled unclassified information. Contract administration is governed by electronic payment systems including Wide Area Workflow (WAWF), which mandates digital submission of payment requests and receiving reports, and requires adherence to clauses covering assignment of claims, availability of funds, and accelerated payments to small business subcontractors. The contractor is responsible for providing inspection and acceptance logistics, with government inspection occurring at origin and final acceptance determined at a contractor-specified location. Evaluation for award is based primarily on price or cost, with technical capability as a significantly less important secondary factor, implying a trade-off methodology rather than lowest price technically acceptable. Special contract requirements include a surge option allowing the government to unilaterally increase order quantities, export control certification for accessing technical data via the Joint Certification Program portal, and mandatory re-representation of small business status in SAM.gov throughout contract performance. All submissions must be completed via SAM.gov by the deadline of July 24, 2026, and the offeror must provide a comprehensive bid set and technical data package, including IUID, packaging, transport, and surge plans, while ensuring no unauthorized obligations are incurred and all contractual representations are accurately certified.
