O-RING

The contract awarded to BLADE INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTS INC with CAGE code 1JYT1 under solicitation SPE7L1-26-T-403X and contract number SPE7L126P8955 is a firm-fixed-price arrangement valued at $846.25 for the delivery of 125 O-rings specified by NSN 5331-01-733-0856. Performance is governed by strict technical requirements, including compliance with SAE AMS7259F and SAE AS83248/2A specifications, and the product must be sourced from a manufacturer listed on the PRI Qualified Manufacturer List or Qualified Products List. The delivery timeframe is 150 days after award with FOB origin terms, meaning the contractor bears all costs and risks until the goods are loaded at their facility in Wixom, Michigan, with final delivery point being the DLA Distribution Facility in New Cumberland, Pennsylvania. Packaging must adhere to MIL-DTL-117, Type II, Class C, Style 1, ensuring UV protection via opaque, waterproof, and greaseproof materials, and all markings must follow MIL-STD-129 including mandatory labeling such as “Product Verification Test Samples Do Not Post to Stock” along with the contract number and lot/item identifier. The contractor is required to submit all invoices and receiving reports electronically through WAWF, and the government retains final inspection and acceptance authority at the destination. The contract prohibits the use of asbestos, mercury (except for permitted applications under NAVSEA 5100-003D), and ozone-depleting chemicals, and demands strict supply chain traceability per DLA Procurement Note C03. Any change in the production facility requires prior written approval from the Contracting Officer, contingent upon maintaining small business status, avoiding delays, and achieving at least a $250 cost reduction. The award reflects the use of authorized deviations from standard FAR clauses relating to veteran employment reporting and sustainable products, and while no formal evaluation factors or socioeconomic certifications are listed, the contractor is confirmed not to be classified as a small business. All contractual obligations, including packaging, labeling, and compliance documentation, are structured to support DLA’s logistical and quality assurance protocols.
