AI Contract Overview
The solicitation requests quotation for 38 plain round nuts with NSN 5310-00-818-0490 under contract number SPE4A6-26-T-05RF, with delivery required within 164 days after award. The contractor must deliver three prototype units within 30 calendar days of contract award to Tinker Air Force Base for mandatory first article testing, where the government will evaluate compliance and either approve, conditionally approve, or disapprove the item within 120 days of receipt. These three units are not counted toward the final production quantity and will be retained by the government for potential use as manufacturing standards or destroyed in testing. The contract explicitly excludes Fast Pay terms and prohibits the use of additive manufacturing for any offered items unless prior written approval is granted. Offerors must comply with strict domestic sourcing requirements under the Berry Amendment and Buy American Act, with thresholds lowered to $150,000, and must disclose any non-domestic materials used. The offeror must also certify that no covered telecommunications equipment or services from restricted foreign vendors are included in the supply. Small business joint ventures must submit required representations for applicable set-aside categories. All vendors must register via DLA’s new AMPS system to access the Vendor Shipment Module and ensure continued ability to ship, with schema updates required for WebServices users. Quotations must be submitted via DIBBS, and offerors are strongly encouraged to provide quantity ranges due to fluctuating demand on open purchase requests. Any offer received after the closing date must include a “No Bid” submission to maintain visibility with buyers.

DISPOSITION OF FIRST ARTICLES:
Procurement Note E02: Supplemental First Article Exhibit Disposition Government Maintained (MAY 2020)
The first article units will be held by the Government, either destroyed in testing or maintained as a manufacturing standard. The contractor will be required to produce/deliver the full quantity indicated on the contract order, the first article units will not be part of the production quantity.
Due to the volatility of demands, and frequent quantity changes on open
purchase requests, offerors are highly encouraged to submit quantity
ranges when quoting. If a PR is evaluated manually, quoting ranges
provides the buyer the option to combine requirements or reduce the
quantity as needed without resoliciting or adding any additional
administrative burden for either party involved when making an award.

SECTION A
This does not apply to Auto IDC.
If you anticipate quoting on a solicitation after the closing date,
please submit a DIBBS quote with a bid type of “No Bid” and place an
anticipated quote date or the reason you are not willing to quote. This
does not prevent you from submitting an actual quote on DIBBS at a later
date. It will overlay your previous no quote. This informs buyers of
your intention to quote and prevents multiple calls for updates and
cancelling of requirements assumed to be non-procurable due to no
quotes/sources. The submission of an anticipated quote date does not
preclude DLA from making an award to another acceptable timely offer.
