The Defense Logistics Agency awarded Contract SPE7L726V0753 to Airborne Supply Inc. (CAGE 8HBL2) for the procurement of 13,000 units of a power supply with NSN 6130014966448 at a total contract value of $17,424.94. The award was issued on July 29, 2026, under solicitation SPE7L7-26-T-4329, and the delivery is scheduled for January 27, 2027, with a need ship date of December 4, 2026. The contract is structured as a fixed-price procurement with delivery made FOB origin to the DLA Distribution facility at New Cumberland, Pennsylvania, where government inspection and acceptance will occur. The acquisition was executed under simplified procedures and reflects an automated award process, suggesting a lowest-priced technically acceptable evaluation basis. The contractor is required to comply with comprehensive packaging and marking standards, primarily MIL-STD-129, and must adhere to DLA’s RP001 packaging requirements, with the DLA Master List taking precedence over any conflicting standards like ASTM D3951. The contract includes numerous Federal Acquisition Regulation and Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement clauses covering critical compliance areas, including cybersecurity, hazardous materials, maritime transportation, and subcontracting. Key cybersecurity obligations include adherence to NIST SP 800-171 for safeguarding Controlled Unclassified Information and compliance with DFARS 252.204-7012 for cyber incident reporting. The contractor must also provide Safety Data Sheets for all hazardous materials prior to award, comply with restrictions on hexavalent chromium and mercury-containing components, and ensure ocean shipments utilize U.S.-flag vessels unless a waiver is secured in advance. Payment processing is governed by Wide Area WorkFlow, and the contractor is obligated to submit electronic payment requests and receiving reports. Representations regarding small business status, unique entity identifier, and covered defense telecommunications equipment are required, and the contract includes clauses prohibiting unauthorized subcontracting and mandating accelerated payments to small business subcontractors. All deliveries must be labeled, barcoded, and packaged according to military and DLA standards, and the contractor is bound by strict inspection criteria under MIL-STD-1916 using a zero non-conformance acceptance threshold.
