PROTECTOR, ELECTRICA

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded Contract SPE7L426V1490 to AMZ ALABAMA INC. (CAGE 076M6) for the procurement of six units of PROTECTOR, ELECTRICAL CABLE (NSN 5975014407763) under Solicitation SPE7L4-26-T-3917, with a total contract value of $1,753.26 and an award date of June 23, 2026. Deliveries are required FOB origin with a 251-day after receipt of order timeline, targeting a need ship date of January 11, 2027, to the delivery point at DLA Distribution Anniston in Anniston, Alabama. The contract incorporates a comprehensive set of FAR and DFARS clauses, including specialized provisions for cybersecurity safeguarding, combating human trafficking, equal opportunity, and restrictions on foreign purchases, all aligned with Deviation 2026-00038 for contract type, equal opportunity, and information systems security. Packaging and marking must strictly comply with MIL-STD-129 for labeling, RP001 for palletization, and ASTM D3951 for non-hazardous materials, while hazardous items must adhere to FED-STD-313 and OSHA’s Hazard Communication Standard, requiring submission of Material Safety Data Sheets prior to award. Inspection and acceptance occur at destination, with the contractor bearing full responsibility for compliance. The contract mandates electronic invoicing via WAWF, and the contractor must validate compliance with NIST SP 800-171 cybersecurity requirements, though the specific assessment level is not defined. No contract type (e.g., fixed-price) has been inserted, and while socioeconomic status representations are required, no award set-aside is specified. All deliveries must be accompanied by proper documentation, and any change to hazardous material composition requires immediate government notification. The absence of explicit pricing in the line item and lack of detailed evaluation factors or key personnel requirements suggest a streamlined acquisition under simplified procedures, potentially driven by price with technical acceptability as the primary consideration.
