RETAINER, DOOR

AEROMETALS, INC. (CAGE 32664) has been awarded a firm-fixed-price indefinite-delivery contract under SPE4A723D5219 with a total ceiling value of $250,000, though the initial award amount is $202,040. The contract spans a five-year base period with no options and is administered by the Defense Logistics Agency Aviation. It encompasses the production and delivery of a door retainer (NSN 1560-01-183-7202) and a government first article test (FAT) exhibit. Production is governed by strict technical and quality standards, including ISO 9001:2015 and NIST SP 800-171, requiring cybersecurity safeguards for controlled unclassified information and compliance with MIL-STD-129 and MIL-STD-130N for packaging, marking, and identification, including Data Matrix barcoding. All items must be manufactured using the same processes and facilities as those validated during the FAT, and inspection and acceptance occur at the contractor’s origin facility. The FAT must be delivered within 540 days of availability, with government evaluation completed within 180 days, followed by production delivery within 420 days of approval. FOB terms designate destination as the delivery point, with final delivery targeted to Warner Robins ALC. Contractual obligations include adherence to hazardous materials labeling under 29 CFR 1910.1200, compliance with anti-trafficking and equal opportunity clauses, and implementation of counterfeit electronic part detection protocols. Payment is processed exclusively via Wide Area WorkFlow (WAWF), and subcontracting activities are subject to clauses governing commercial products and services. The contractor must maintain a robust quality system and submit FAT documentation using DI-NDTI-80809B, with all FAT exhibits clearly marked to prevent stock posting. Special contract requirements include bilateral simplified indefinite-delivery contract terms, prohibitions on compensation of former DOD officials, and mandatory reporting of hazardous materials prior to award. While no socioeconomic status or key personnel details are specified, cybersecurity compliance and supply chain traceability are critical performance metrics underpinning the award, which was made on a best-value trade-off basis.
