NUT, PLAIN, CASTELLAT

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded The Boeing Company (CAGE 0PXV4) a delivery order under contract SPE4A125G0009 for 255 plain castellated hex nuts (NSN 5310011541455) with a total contract value of $79,572.75, awarded on July 21, 2026, pursuant to solicitation SPE4A6-26-Q-0682. The work falls under NAICS code 332722 and is performed for the Department of Defense, with John Schaefer designated as the primary point of contact. Delivery is governed by F.O.B. Origin terms, with inspection and acceptance occurring at the source, and all items must comply with MIL-STD-2073-1E for packaging, MIL-STD-129 for marking and barcoding, and MIL-STD-130 for Item Unique Identification requiring permanent 2D Data Matrix markings. The contract mandates adherence to defense-specific cybersecurity standards including NIST SP 800-171 and DFARS 252.204-7012 for handling controlled unclassified information, and requires detection and avoidance of counterfeit electronic parts under DFARS provisions. Packaging specifications include Cling/Dry preservation method, no cushioning or special wrapping, and compliance with DLA’s RP001 packaging requirements. Invoicing must be submitted exclusively through Wide Area WorkFlow, and all payments will be processed via electronic funds transfer. The contract includes multiple FAR and DFARS clauses addressing small business representation, prompt payment, trafficking in persons, paid sick leave, hazardous materials identification, warranty period, quality assurance, subcontracting, and disputes. Notably, the award is based on a best value trade-off methodology, where past performance—particularly supplier quality and delivery record as captured in SPRS—is significantly more important than price, though cost remains a factor in the evaluation. Special provisions include DPAS prioritization for defense-critical items, sourcing controls for safety-critical components, and labeling requirements for hazardous materials in compliance with DFARS. No contract options are included, and while the unit and extended prices are unpopulated in the pricing section, the total contract value is finalized and binding.
