PROTECTOR, HEARING

The contract specifies the procurement of 82 units of hearing protectors under NSN 4240016901689, with approved part numbers 3M Company 76381 P/N 7000104079 and X5P3E, through a Request for Quotations issued under solicitation number SPE8E6-26-T-4055 by DLA Troop Support, Construction & Equipment (Class IV). Delivery is required within 54 days ADO to the designated receiving warehouse at 25600 S Chrisman Road, Tracy CA 95304-5000, with FOB Origin terms applying, and the original required delivery date is set for November 30, 2026, though a need ship date of March 20, 2026, indicates earlier scheduling priority. The quantity is firm with no variance allowed. Technical and quality compliance is governed by the DLA Master List of Technical and Quality Requirements, referenced by RA001, RQ011, RD003, and RP001, with TDP Rev A Gen 1 specifying product specifications. Packaging must adhere to MIL-STD-129 for marking and labeling, with palletization governed by RP001; hazardous materials must comply with TQ requirement IP025 per FED-STD-313, while non-hazardous items must meet ASTM D3951, though DLA requirements supersede ASTM standards. The offeror must comply with the Hazard Communication Standard for hazardous material labeling unless exempt under specific federal acts, and must submit hazard labels and MSDS before award. Offers are strictly prohibited from including items produced via additive manufacturing, which renders such bids ineligible for evaluation. The government will award under a HUBZone price evaluation preference unless waived, and the procurement is not a small business set-aside. All quotes must be submitted via DIBBS by August 17, 2026, and payment will be processed through WAWF under DFARS 252.232-7006. Offerors must validate all socioeconomic and compliance representations in SAM, including small business status, WOSB, SDVOSB, and HUBZone eligibility, and certify whether they provide covered defense telecommunications equipment.
