NUT, SELF LOCKING

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded contract SPE4A624PAZR9 to EMPIRE AVIONICS CORP. (CAGE 1BRS6) for the procurement of 190 self-locking nuts with National Stock Number 5310-01-455-1970, classified under NAICS code 332722. The original contract value was $2,080.50 at a unit price of $210.95 per item, with the award issued on July 20, 2026. However, the contract was subsequently modified under P00001 on September 24, 2024, resulting in the full cancellation of the line item due to the vendor’s inability to supply the required material, reducing the obligated amount to $0.00. The modification was executed unilaterally under authorities cited in FAR 43.103(b), FAR 43.203(b), and FAR 13.302-4(b), and documented using the Standard Form 30. No formal contract type such as fixed-price or IDIQ was specified, though the structure suggests a fixed-price arrangement. No detailed specifications, inspection criteria, packaging requirements, or quality standards were provided beyond the NSN designation. The place of performance and delivery terms including FOB conditions were not defined in the documentation. The contracting office is located in Richmond, Virginia, and the contracting officer is Heather Wattersson, while the contractor’s point of contact is Jesse Rome. No Contracting Officer’s Representative or technical representative was appointed. No socioeconomic certifications, size status representations, or compliance with special program requirements were indicated in the records, despite the use of a CAGE code for identification. No invoice submission method, accounting codes such as AAC, TAS, or ACRN, packaging standards, or evaluation factors were documented, and no attachments or clause listings were included. The contract’s administrative handling relied entirely on modification actions and standard form processes, with no underlying technical or performance requirements established in the available documentation.
