PIN-RIVET

The contract pertains to the procurement of threaded pin-rivets identified by NSN 5320-01-399-4374 and part number HL110V-6-4, classified as a commercial item under MIL-STD-130N for official identification marking. The item is critical for military applications and may require specialized casting or forging processes, with government-provided tooling not available; contractors must seek assistance through DLA’s forging and casting support channels if needed. Delivery is split across two CLINs totaling 920 units, with FOB origin terms, a 170-day delivery window from award, and a required ship date of November 8, 2026, and final delivery by November 24, 2026. Packaging must adhere to ASTM D3951 with prioritization given to the DLA Master List of Technical and Quality Requirements, and all items must be labeled and palletized per MIL-STD-129 and RP001, including mandatory MIL-STD-130N permanent identification and compliant barcoding. Shipments are directed to two DLA distribution centers: Tinker AFB, Oklahoma, and New Cumberland, Pennsylvania, with inspection and acceptance occurring at the destination. The contract is issued under solicitation SPE4A6-26-T-54Q8 by the ASC Commodities Division of the Department of Defense, with an NAICS code of 332510, indicating it falls under the manufacturing sector for fasteners. The solicitation applies standard FAR and DFARS clauses including cybersecurity requirements under NIST SP 800-171, mandatory reporting of cyber incidents, and prohibitions on covered telecommunications equipment. Contractors must be registered in SAM, possess valid UEI and CAGE codes, and provide current small business or socioeconomic status representations if applicable. The evaluation approach appears to follow a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) model, with technical compliance serving as a threshold—failure to meet cybersecurity, packaging, or marking standards results in non-acceptance regardless of price. Invoicing is exclusively through WAWF, with payment processed via DoDAACs established in the resulting award, and no contract value or unit pricing is disclosed in the solicitation. Compliance with hazardous materials labeling, whistleblower protections, and former DoD official compensation restrictions are contractually mandated, and the use of commercial service subcontractors is permitted under
