Retaining Ring Supply (COTS Item Delivery)

The contract specifies the procurement and delivery of one commercial off-the-shelf retaining ring identified by NSN 5325016911724 under CLIN 0001, with delivery required within five days of award at FOB Origin terms. This requirement is part of a subcontract under the Department of Defense’s Aviation Supply Chain ESOC Buys office, targeting a specific item critical to avionics or mechanical systems. The NAICS code 332999 indicates the supplier must be engaged in miscellaneous manufacturing not elsewhere classified, aligning with the specialized nature of the retaining ring. Performance is tied to Fort Stewart, Georgia, with the delivery point set at the vendor’s origin location, meaning the buyer assumes risk and transportation costs upon shipment. The opportunity was posted on July 19, 2026, with a response deadline of July 27, 2026, providing suppliers a seven-day window to submit offers. There is no set-aside designation, meaning any qualified small or large business may compete. The contract does not list a point of contact, and the solicitation is accessible through the DIBBS platform. The urgency of the five-day delivery timeline suggests immediate operational need, requiring vendors to have the item in stock or capable of rapid fulfillment without custom production or lead time delays. All bids must meet the exact NSN specification and guarantee FOB Origin compliance to avoid disqualification.
