PRODUCTION LOT TESTING (GOVERNMENT)

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded Contract SPE4A626PT608 to ALRO MACHINE TOOL AND DIE CO INC (CAGE 1K556) for a firm fixed price of $535,230.00 to supply a push rod assembly (NSN 1680-01-158-9661), along with contractor-furnished first article testing and government-conducted production lot testing. The contract was awarded under Solicitation SPE4A7-26-Q-0457 issued on March 9, 2026, with a delivery schedule requiring production units to be completed within 250 days after the order date and final delivery within 30 days of award. Inspection and acceptance occur at the contractor’s origin facility, with the contractor responsible for conducting all required quality assurance, including first article and production lot testing, in accordance with MIL-STD-1916, ASQ H1331, and DLA Master List specifications. Packaging must comply with MIL-STD-2073-1E using Method 33 (Cling/Dry) and be marked per MIL-STD-129, with Item Unique Identification (IUID) applied as required by MIL-STD-130. All items must be palletized per DLA RP001, and preservation includes moisture protection and compatible wrapping materials. The contractor is bound by multiple mandatory clauses including export control, prohibition on covered telecommunications equipment, child labor compliance, equal opportunity, and prompt payment requirements. Payment must be submitted electronically through WAWF, and the government reserves the right to accept or reject deliveries at origin based on comprehensive quality verification. The award decision was based on a best-value trade-off, with past performance—particularly SPRS data and historical quality and delivery compliance—weighted more heavily than other non-price factors, which are collectively equal in importance to price. Cybersecurity requirements under NIST SP 800-171 and CMMC Level 2 certification are enforced, with mandatory reporting of cyber incidents to DIBNET. The contractor must also comply with DPAS priority ratings, hazardous material labeling, and represent its small business status as defined by NAICS code 541380. Documentation must be submitted via designated email addresses, and all reporting, invoicing, and compliance obligations are subject to full government oversight at origin.
