PADLOCK SET

The contract specifies the procurement of nine padlock sets under NSN 5340-01-269-9345, with delivery due in 249 days from award, and is governed by solicitation SPE7L1-26-T-844J. Each set must include a padlock and matching keys, with each component distinctly marked by a serial number stamped directly on the padlock body and key, ensuring no correlation with the key’s bitting pattern. All items must comply with MIL-STD-130N for identification marking of U.S. military property, and packaging requires each lock with its keys to be placed in a commercial carton, then enclosed in a commercial weather-resistant fiberboard box. The hardware must conform to the current revision of its governing part standard, with prior revisions accepted only if they were current at the time of manufacture; future production must adhere strictly to the latest version. Sampling and inspection follow MIL-STD-1916 or ASQ H1331 Table 1 with zero non-conformances required unless otherwise dictated, and attributes are to be classified with verification levels VII, IV, and II or AQLs of 0.1, 1.0, and 4.0 respectively. The requirement to meet ASTM F883 Section 9.6 Key Bumping Test is explicitly excluded. Plastic wrapping, cushioning, or dunnage must be avoided when feasible. This procurement is fully competitive under a federal specification, sourced through the Department of Defense’s Land Supply Chain, with performance located in New Cumberland, Pennsylvania, and primary contact information provided for inquiries.
