NUT, PLAIN, HEXAGON

The contract requires the procurement of seven plain hexagon nuts specified under MIL-DTL-1222J with NSN 5310-01-678-1203, to be delivered FOB origin to the DLA Distribution DDSP New Cumberland Facility in Pennsylvania within 171 days after order placement. The item is subject to stringent military and quality standards including MIL-STD-2073-1E for packaging and MIL-STD-129 for marking, with mandatory compliance to DLA’s packaging requirements and a strict prohibition on mercury or mercury compounds in all packaging processes. Technical data associated with the part is controlled under ITAR or EAR, restricting export and disclosure to foreign persons without prior government authorization, and access to this data is limited to contractors with approved US/Canada Joint Certification Program status, completed DLA export control training, and formal approval. The contract enforces CMMC Level 2 certification for cybersecurity, NIST SP 800-171 compliance for safeguarding Controlled Unclassified Information, and DFARS clause 252.204-7012 requiring cyber incident reporting. Quality assurance is governed by tailored higher-level requirements, mandatory quality conformance inspections, and zero-defect acceptance criteria based on sampling standards like MIL-STD-1916. The offeror must hold a valid UEI and CAGE code, and represent their small business status if applicable, with socioeconomic certifications like WOSB or SDVOSB potentially influencing evaluation. All invoices must be submitted through WAWF, and transportation by sea must use U.S.-flag vessels unless waived. The contract type and pricing remain unspecified, with the government contemplating a fixed-price arrangement but not declaring the award basis, and the absence of unit pricing indicates value determination is pending award. Nonconforming supplies must have government identification removed, and inspections and acceptance occur at the destination by the government per FAR 52.246-2.
