RIVET, BLIND

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded a firm-fixed-price contract to ATF AEROSPACE, LLC, located in Huntsville, Alabama, for the procurement of 536 blind rivets under NSN 5320-01-033-8177, with a total contract value of $47,864.80. The award was made on July 14, 2026, pursuant to solicitation SPE4A6-26-T-47P5, and delivery is to be made as directed over a 579-day period with FOB Origin terms, meaning risk transfers to the government upon shipment from the contractor’s facility. All items are subject to strict military packaging and marking standards, including MIL-STD-129 for shipping containers and MIL-STD-130 for unique item identification with machine-readable Data Matrix codes encoded using ISO/IEC 15434 formats. Quality requirements mandate adherence to SAE AS9100 and applicable FAR inspection clauses, with government inspection and acceptance conducted directly at the contractor’s production site. The contract incorporates a broad range of Federal Acquisition Regulation clauses covering whistleblower protections, antiterrorism training, trafficking in persons, employment equity for veterans and individuals with disabilities, paid sick leave, and environmental restrictions including prohibitions on hexavalent chromium and fluorinated AFFF. The contractor must comply with DLA RP001 and the DLA Master List of Technical and Quality Requirements, which supersede commercial standards, and all invoicing must be processed electronically through WAWF. Representations and certifications related to small business status and Entity Identifier are required but not provided in the available documentation. Special contract requirements include Defense Priorities and Allocations System compliance and controls over government information and third-party proprietary data, while no options, key personnel provisions, or security clearance requirements are included. The award was likely made based on a best-value trade-off among technical, management, and cost factors, consistent with standard DoD procurement practices.
