The contract includes a single-line item for a valve stop plate identified by NSN 4310016493563 at a unit price of $10.85, though it encompasses thousands of additional NSNs through attachments, with full pricing and technical details referenced in enclosure documents such as the Awarded NSNs & Prices and Technical Data Spreadsheet.

The contract incorporates mandatory federal and defense regulations including DFARS clauses on cybersecurity incident reporting, prohibitions on covered telecommunications equipment, Buy American compliance with modifications acknowledging non-U.S. manufacturing origins, and Trade Agreements certification. Payment is processed via WAWF using the SL4701 payment code and remittance to P.O. Box 182317 in Columbus, Ohio. The awardee, identified by CAGE code 04MP1, is subject to acceleration of payments to small business subcontractors and is required to comply with DPAS priorities on a per-order basis. Packaging, marking, and preservation requirements are minimally specified, limited only to marking packages with identification numbers from Blocks I and Z, with no reference to MIL-STD or barcoding standards. The contract includes a subcontracting plan and small business participation documentation but does not verify the offeror’s size status or socioeconomic eligibility. Contract administration is managed by DCMA Huntsville, with no named COR, COTR, or PCO provided, and no formal evaluation factors or award basis documented, though the award aligns with standard DLA procurement practices for fixed-price requirements contracts.
