PLUNGER

The contract solicitation SPEFA5-26-T-0823 issues a requirement for two units of the PLUNGER item with NSN 6116LN0035647, each to be delivered in a single unit of issue at a quantity of one EA, with delivery required within five days of order date to the Fleet Readiness Center East location in Cherry Point, North Carolina. The items are designated as a critical application item with no shelf life requirement and must fully comply with the DLA Master List of Technical and Quality Requirements, which supersede all other standards including ASTM D3951 for packaging. Packaging must adhere to ASTM D3951 as a baseline but must ultimately meet the more stringent DLA RP001 packaging and palletization requirements, with all markings and labels conforming to MIL-STD-129, including barcoding for traceability and bare item marking per RQ017. Inspection and acceptance occur at the destination, with sampling governed by MIL-STD-1916 or ASQ H1331 Table 1, requiring zero non-conformances in the sample lot unless otherwise specified; critical, major, and minor attributes must be verified at levels VII, IV, and II or at AQLs of 0.1, 1.0, and 4.0 respectively. Delivery is FOB destination, with no quantity variance permitted, and shipment must occur via fastest traceable means, explicitly prohibiting parcel post. The contract incorporates a suite of FAR and DFARS clauses governing small business representation, accelerated payments to small subcontractors, cybersecurity safeguards under NIST SP 800-171, prohibition of covered telecommunications equipment, safeguarding of covered defense information, and compliance with the System for Award Management. The contractor must be registered in WAWF for invoicing and receiving report submissions, and all submissions must be made electronically via the DLA Internet Bid Board System by the June 22, 2026 deadline. The contract also requires affirmations regarding Unique Entity Identifier, CAGE code, size status, and socioeconomic certifications, with potential triggers for additional disclosures related to covered defense equipment or services under Section 889. All technical, quality, and packaging requirements are controlled by the version of the DLA Master List in effect on the award date, ensuring consistency with evolving defense standards.
