The contract requires delivery within 304 days after receipt of order, with the place of performance located at the DLA Distribution DDSP New Cumberland Facility. Award will be determined on a trade-off basis, weighing cost or price approximately equally against non-price factors, with past performance—specifically PPIRS-SR assessments, historical quality, and delivery compliance—carrying the most significant weight among non-price considerations. The contract mandates strict adherence to technical and quality requirements, including SAE AS9100 standards and the use of Qualified Products Lists (QPL) or Qualified Manufacturers Lists (QML). Rigorous inspection and acceptance protocols are in place, with inspection occurring at the source and acceptance generally at the origin, though First Article Testing (FAT) and Production Lot Testing (PLT) are accepted at the destination. Packaging and marking must comply with MIL-STD-2073-1E and MIL-STD-129. Additionally, the contract includes critical security and regulatory requirements, including CMMC Level 2 certification, adherence to Covered Defense Information protocols, and strict export controls under ITAR and EAR regulations. Invoicing must be processed electronically through the Wide Area WorkFlow (WAWF) system.
