The Defense Logistics Agency awarded a multiple-year indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity contract to 3M Company under solicitation SPE4AX26F300K, with a base period of three years and a one-time two-year option, potentially extending the total performance period to five years. The contract supports the supply of respirator air filters, identified by NSN 4240013013200 and part number 710275, with an initial delivery order valued at $82,831.44. Despite this low initial obligation, the overall contract ceiling ranges between $34.5 million and $75.3 million, reflecting anticipated volume growth across additional NSNs and option periods. The contract is structured as an IDIQ, permitting the government to issue delivery orders for quantities between 75% and 125% of estimated needs, with the ability to add or delete items via bilateral or unilateral modifications, respectively. Delivery is FOB destination, with title and risk transferring to the government upon receipt at designated DLA depots, including locations such as Tinker AFB, Oklahoma. 3M Company, identified by CAGE code 76381, is required to maintain ISO 9001 certification and comply with stringent packaging and marking standards under ASTM D3951 for commercial items and MIL-STD-2073-1D for non-commercial shipments. All shipments to overseas or RFID-mandated locations must include passive RFID tags on case and pallet levels, encoded per EPCglobal standards and aligned with MIL-STD-129, with unique, non-reusable tag IDs. Advance Shipment Notices must be submitted via Wide Area WorkFlow, and payment is processed through WAWF or PayWeb to the designated remittance address in Columbus, Ohio. The contract mandates full compliance with small business subcontracting requirements under FAR 52.219-9, including the submission of a formal subcontracting plan, and incorporates multiple small business set-aside provisions reflecting eligibility for HUBZone, Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned, and Women-Owned Small Business concerns, although 3M’s own size status is not formally certified. The contractor must also adhere to labor standards, anti-trafficking requirements, executive compensation reporting, and ethics codes, with the Contracting Officer’s Representative, Corinne Breaudeau, overseeing administration and the Contracting Officer, James Inman, managing ordering authority.
