RETAINER, ELECTRICAL

The contract solicitation SPE7M5-26-Q-0839 seeks 13 electrical retainers identified by NSN 5935-01-466-5336 for delivery to Anniston, AL, with a required delivery timeline of 134 days after award. The item is governed by the DLA Master List of Technical and Quality Requirements, which takes precedence over commercial standards and includes specific technical and quality mandates referenced via R and I numbers. Packaging must comply with RP001 and MIL-STD-129 for marking, with non-hazardous items packaged per ASTM D3951 and hazardous items following TQ Requirement IP025 as outlined in FED-STD-313. All units must be marked with the contract number, lot/item number, and a special notice if designated as Product Verification Test samples. The solicitation requires strict adherence to export control regulations under ITAR and EAR, restricting access to technical data to contractors certified under the US/Canada Joint Certification Program, who have completed mandatory DLA training and been formally approved. The contract prohibits the use of Class I ozone-depleting chemicals and mandates formal Engineering Change Proposals for any deviations, with a $250 fee per submission. Performance is governed by FOB Origin, meaning the Government accepts delivery at the contractor’s facility, with inspection and acceptance also occurring at the source. Payment must be processed electronically through WAWF using DoDAAC identifiers, and all offerors must be registered in SAM.gov. Evaluation will be based on past performance, offered delivery, and price, with award potentially going to the offeror providing best value to the government, not necessarily the lowest-priced technically acceptable quote. No pricing information is provided in the solicitation, leaving the estimated contract value undefined. The solicitation emphasizes compliance with federal regulations including FAR 52.222-37, 52.223-23, and 52.219-31, and requires submission of all representations and certifications, though none are completed at this stage. The closing date for submissions is August 19, 2026, and responses must be submitted via the WAWF portal to the DLA Land and Maritime Active Devices Division. Failure to meet export control, packaging, or documentation requirements will render an offer non-responsive.
