PIN-RIVET

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded S & B, INC. (CAGE 0F4K9) an indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity contract under solicitation SPE4A6-26-U-2325 with a maximum value of $350,000.00, effective July 16, 2026, for the procurement of PIN-RIVET (NSN 5320013474068) at a unit price of $4.00. This contract operates under a unilateral, simplified indefinite-delivery format, meaning no binding obligation exists until a delivery order is issued, and all deliveries are restricted to the continental United States with FOB ORIGIN terms, where title transfers at the contractor’s facility. The contract requires full compliance with stringent packaging and marking standards, including ASTM D3951 and MIL-STD-129 for labeling, barcoding, and palletization, with hazardous material labeling governed by OSHA’s Hazard Communication Standard and MIL-STD-129, and mandatory submission of Material Safety Data Sheets prior to award. Inspection and acceptance occur at the destination by the Government, with no predefined delivery schedule—each order establishes timing, quantity, and ship-to location. The award follows a trade-off methodology rather than LPTA, evaluating price alongside responsiveness, responsibility, and small business status, though no formal weights or ratings were specified. The contractor must maintain current representations in SAM, including size status and socioeconomic certifications, and adhere to extensive compliance clauses covering employment eligibility, trafficking in persons, sustainable products, cybersecurity (including NIST SP 800-171 and safeguarding covered defense information), export controls, conflict of interest, supply chain risk, and prohibitions on toxic materials and certain foreign-sourced equipment. Invoicing is exclusively through WAWF, with payment governed by DD 1155 form instructions and accounting data to be completed by the issuing activity. The contract includes clauses addressing patent rights, whistleblower protections, contractor reporting of cyber incidents, and limitations on arbitration agreements, and excludes any contract options or modification pricing details beyond those specified in existing FAR and DFARS clauses.
