RING, SPRING

Contract SPE7L424P1543 was awarded by the Defense Logistics Agency to Echelon Supply and Service, Inc. for the procurement of spring rings under NAICS code 332613. The total contract price was $2,753.94, with performance administered through DCMA Northeast at Hanscom AFB, Massachusetts. The primary deliverables consisted of spring rings identified by NSN 1095-00-955-3204. Modification P00002, issued on June 30, 2026, revoked the government's acceptance of the delivered parts after a DLA test lab identified latent defects. Specifically, the parts were found to be non-conforming because the open ends were cut flat rather than spherical, rendering them non-functional. Consequently, the government demanded a refund of $2,990.17 to cover unit prices and administrative costs, payable via Pay.gov. Under this modification, CLIN 0002 was canceled at no cost to the government, and the contractor was instructed to dispose of the defective materials. Failure to remit payment is subject to interest and penalties in accordance with FAR 32.604 and 31 U.S.C. 3717.
