Solicitation SPE7L3-26-T-218R, issued by DLA Land and Maritime, is for the procurement of 137 units of wiper rings (NSN 5330002958709). The requirement is a critical application item with a need ship date of November 18, 2026, and an original required delivery date of November 19, 2026. Delivery is set for the DLA Distribution DDSP New Cumberland facility in Pennsylvania, with offers required to be submitted based on FOB Origin under the First Destination Transportation program. The contract mandates strict quality and packaging standards, requiring compliance with MIL-STD-2073-1E and RP001 for packaging and palletization.

Inspection and acceptance will occur at the destination. Administrative requirements include the use of the Wide Area WorkFlow system for invoicing and payment. The solicitation incorporates several key federal regulations, including the Buy American and Balance of Payments Program, the Berry Amendment, and DFARS 252.204-7012 for safeguarding covered defense information.
