The Defense Logistics Agency awarded a fixed-price delivery order under contract SPE4A625D5104 to S & B, INC. (CAGE 0F4K9) for 3,361 self-locking nuts with extended washers, hexagon shape, identified by NSN 5310-01-055-3853 and part number MS14145L6, at a unit price of $3.10, resulting in a total obligation of $10,419.10. The award, posted on July 20, 2026, is part of an indefinite-delivery purchase order with a statutory ceiling of $250,000, allowing for up to four option years during which additional quantities may be ordered under the same pricing terms. Delivery is FOB origin at the contractor’s facility in Valencia, CA, with a required delivery window of 300 days after receipt of order. The contract mandates strict compliance with MIL-STD-2073-1E for packaging and preservation, requiring clean and dry methods without any preservation or cushioning materials, and adherence to RP001 DLA packaging standards. All items must be marked per MIL-STD-129 and uniquely identified with UID data conforming to MIL-STD-130N(1), including machine-readable 2D barcodes formatted per ISO/IEC 15434. Hazardous materials, if any, must be labeled in accordance with OSHA’s Hazard Communication Standard, and product verification test samples must be explicitly marked to prevent stock posting. The contractor is required to submit all invoices electronically via Wide Area WorkFlow and maintain full supply chain traceability documentation. The award was made under a best-value trade-off methodology, giving significant weight to past performance—particularly historical quality and delivery compliance—as well as quoted delivery schedule, with cost being evaluated relative to these non-price factors. The contractor must also comply with a suite of FAR and DFARS clauses addressing small business representation, equal opportunity, trafficking in persons, paid sick leave, inspection requirements, warranty provisions, and subcontracting reporting. The contract includes special requirements for sourcing critical safety items and operates under a bilateral simplified indefinite-delivery contract framework. No specific COR or COTR is named, but contracting officer contacts are provided for administrative coordination.
