RIVET, BLIND

The contract solicitation SPE4A6-26-T-70W7 seeks the procurement of one unit of the commercial item RIVET, BLIND, identified by NSN 5320-01-343-1019, for delivery to Marine Aviation Logistics Squadron 39 at Camp Pendleton, California, with a required delivery window of 20 days after order placement. The shipment must be FOB origin, and all items must comply with the DLA Master List of Technical and Quality Requirements, which takes precedence over general standards such as ASTM D3951 for packaging. Packaging and marking requirements strictly follow MIL-STD-129 for labeling and bar coding, along with RP001 for palletization and preservation using desiccants, VCIs, and moisture barriers. Government identification must be removed from non-accepted items, and bare item marking is mandatory under RQ017, though Item Unique Identification is exempt per DFARS 252.211-7003(c)(1)(i). The item is procured under a fully competitive process compliant with military specifications, and no options or quantity variances are permitted. The solicitation is governed by a comprehensive set of FAR and DFARS clauses addressing supply chain security, cybersecurity, labor compliance, and environmental standards. Mandatory provisions include safeguarding covered defense information under DFARS 252.204-7012, prohibition of hexavalent chromium and toxic material handling under DFARS 252.223-7006 and 252.223-7008, and compliance with the Combating Trafficking in Persons and Employment Eligibility Verification clauses. All hazardous materials require prior submission of Safety Data Sheets following OSHA’s Hazard Communication Standard, and any shipment containing radioactive material above specified thresholds must be formally notified to the Contracting Officer. Transportation must be via U.S.-flag vessels unless a waiver is obtained 45 days in advance. Invoices must be submitted through WAWF only, and payment is subject to DoDAAC routing. Offerors must provide their Unique Entity Identifier and CAGE code, and declare small business status—including HUBZone, SDVOSB, and WOSB eligibility—with socioeconomic preferences potentially influencing award. Evaluation factors are not explicitly weighted, but automated award processes and price preferences for qualifying small businesses suggest a likely LPTA-based approach. The contract will be awarded under
