PANEL, STRUCTURAL, AI

The contract, awarded to DERCO AEROSPACE, INC. under CAGE code 8X044, is a firm-fixed-price delivery order issued through SPE4A520DP002 with a total value of $2.00, referencing a single line item for a structural panel (NSN 1560004842029) under solicitation SPE4AX26F289N. Despite the nominal award amount, the underlying indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contract structure includes 20 distinct contract line items each specifying 99,999 units at a uniform unit price of $150.00, resulting in a total estimated value of nearly $200 million. Delivery is required within 330 days of order, with all items subject to FOB Origin terms, meaning title and responsibility transfer to the government upon shipment from the contractor’s facility in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Inspection and acceptance occur at origin by government representatives, with zero tolerance for quantity deviations and no contractor certification permitted—only government inspection is authoritative. The contract enforces strict compliance with Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) and Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) clauses, including mandatory safeguarding of covered defense information, cyber incident reporting, Buy American requirements with Alternate I applied, and accelerated payments to small business subcontractors. Payment is exclusively processed via Wide Area WorkFlow (WAWF), requiring contractor registration and adherence to specific DoDAAC routing instructions. The awardee is certified as a small business, and all shipments must comply with U.S.-flag vessel requirements unless an exception is granted 45 days in advance, with ocean bills of lading required within 30 days of shipment. No attachments, packaging specifications, evaluation factors, or detailed technical standards are provided in the available documentation, though compliance with DFARS Appendix F and applicable military logistics standards is implied. Contract administration details, including the contracting officer and representatives, are not specified, and no formal section M evaluation criteria or section K offeror representations beyond the small business status were included in the public record.
