This contract, issued under solicitation number SPE8E6-26-T-3858 by the Defense Logistics Agency through Depot Oklahoma, calls for the procurement of 40 units of a plug item identified by NSN 4240-01-380-4949 and part number 7000029584 from 3M Company, used to seal facepiece ports to enable masks to operate in airline mode. The total contract value is $1,600 at a unit price of $40.000, with delivery required 55 days after award, no later than July 31, 2026, delivered FOB origin to Tinker Air Force Base, Oklahoma. The contract strictly mandates compliance with multiple military and federal standards: all packaging must adhere to MIL-STD-129 for marking and labeling, and individual items must be permanently marked per MIL-STD-130N for Unique Item Identification. Non-hazardous materials must be commercially packaged in accordance with ASTM D3951, but this is subordinate to the DLA Master List of Technical and Quality Requirements, which takes precedence; hazardous materials must be packaged under TQ Requirement IP025 as defined by FED-STD-313 and labeled per OSHA’s Hazard Communication Standard. Palletization is governed by RP001, DLA’s Packaging Requirements for Procurement. The inspection and acceptance occur at the destination, and all shipments must be tracked using WAWF for invoicing and receiving reports. The contract imposes stringent transportation requirements, including a prohibition on foreign-flag vessels unless a formal waiver is granted 45 days prior to shipment, supported by documented efforts to secure U.S.-flag alternatives. Contractors must submit Safety Data Sheets pre-award, fully compliant with 29 CFR 1910.1200, and disclose UEI and CAGE codes if providing covered defense telecommunications equipment. Compliance with numerous DFARS and FAR clauses is mandatory, including those related to combating trafficking, employment eligibility verification, sustainable products, whistleblower rights, information disclosure, and restrictions on compensation for former DoD officials. The contract includes deviations from standard clauses and requires offerors to affirm small business status, socioeconomic certifications, and adherence to all technical, packaging, and safety specifications as outlined in referenced standards and DLA directives, with failure to comply potentially resulting in disqualification or contract rejection.
