PACKING, PREFORMED

Offerors must not provide covered telecommunications equipment or services as defined by FAR 52.204-24 and DFARS 252.204-7016 in performance of any award under this solicitation. Domestic material restrictions including the Berry Amendment, Buy American Act, and related DFARS clauses apply with a reduced threshold of $150,000; non-domestic material suppliers must disclose this information in their quotation or via written notification. Small business joint ventures must submit required representations under FAR provisions 52.212-3 and 52.219-1 for eligible categories. All vendors must register through DLA’s Account Management & Provisioning System to access the Vendor Shipment Module within two months; failure to do so will prevent shipment to DLA, and WebServices users must update their internal schema by the specified deadline. Additive manufacturing is prohibited unless prior approval is granted, and offers including AM-produced items will be deemed non-responsive. Offerors are strongly encouraged to quote quantity ranges due to fluctuating demand on open purchase requests, which facilitates award flexibility without resolicitation, though this does not apply to Auto IDC. Fast Pay is not applicable. Vendors anticipating submitting a quote after the closing date must submit a “No Bid” on DIBBS with an anticipated quote date or reason, to avoid assumptions of non-responsiveness. The item solicited is a packing preformed with NSN 5330-01-231-6557, quantity of 235 units, delivery due in 186 days, under solicitation SPE4A5-26-T-292F, with primary point of contact Anthony Duguay.
