RING SET, PISTON

This solicitation issued by the Department of Defense’s Land Supply Chain ESOC Buys office requests proposals for the procurement of 102 piston ring sets (NSN 2520-01-737-3614) with delivery required within five days after contract award. The place of performance and delivery is Texarkana, Texas, with FOB origin terms, meaning title and risk transfer at the contractor’s shipping location. The contract incorporates comprehensive technical and quality requirements as outlined in the DLA Master List of Technical and Quality Requirements, and mandates compliance with military packaging and marking standards MIL-STD-2073-1E for preservation and MIL-STD-129 for marking, including bar coding. Hazard warning and labeling requirements under DFARS 252.223-7001 apply to hazardous materials, with strict obligations on hazardous material data submission and updates throughout contract performance. The contract is governed by several FAR and DFARS clauses reflecting simplified acquisition procedures under FAR 52.213-4 and includes clauses addressing contract type flexibility, equal opportunity for workers with disabilities, cybersecurity safeguarding consistent with the latest DFARS cybersecurity requirements, subcontractor provisions, and reporting obligations related to safety issues and transportation of supplies by sea. Although the exact contract type is not specified, the use of simplified acquisition clauses suggests a firm-fixed-price arrangement. Evaluation will emphasize compliance with technical and quality standards and price reasonableness, supplemented by responsibility determinations including proper submissions of Material Safety Data Sheets. Administrative details stipulate payment processing exclusively through Wide Area WorkFlow (WAWF) with contract administration and buyer contact designated to Jeffrey Bloom. Proposals are due electronically through the DLA-BSM Internet Bid Board System by May 22, 2026.
