SCREW, CAP, SOCKET HE

The contract solicitation SPE4A6-26-T-54Z2 seeks 184 socket head cap screws identified by NSN 5305-01-384-9112, to be delivered within 134 days after order to the DLA Distribution Facility in New Cumberland, Pennsylvania. The item must conform to a military or consensus non-government standard, with only the current revision or previously approved prior revisions acceptable; all future manufacturing must adhere to the latest version. Packaging requirements demand compliance with MIL-STD-2073-1E and DLA RP001, using packaging code “U” with no cushioning material, and preservation must follow the CLNG/DRY method without any preservation substances. Marking obligations include MIL-STD-129 for shipping containers and MIL-STD-130N Paragraph 4.1.b(2) for the item itself, requiring permanent identification with a Unique Device Identifier, barcode, and data matrix, along with manufacturer’s logo, lot number, and material identification. Mercury and mercury compounds are strictly prohibited in all packaging, preservation, and marking materials. The contract incorporates stringent cybersecurity protections under DFARS clauses 252.204-7012 and 252.204-7020, mandating compliance with NIST SP 800-171 for safeguarding covered defense information, requiring a formal DoD assessment of cybersecurity controls, and compelling subcontractor flow-downs. Offerors must possess a valid UEI and CAGE code, disclose entity information for covered telecommunication equipment or services if applicable, and certify small business or socioeconomic status where relevant. All deliveries are FOB origin, and payment must be processed exclusively through Wide Area WorkFlow with approved document types such as invoices and receiving reports. The government conducts final inspection and acceptance at the delivery point against quality standards including MIL-STD-1916 with zero non-conformances required for critical characteristics. The solicitation references a master list of technical and quality requirements accessible via the DLA website, and compliance with these standards controls award eligibility. No contract value is stated, and while the type of contract, key personnel, or options are not explicitly defined, the structure strongly suggests a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable procurement approach, with technical acceptability—particularly in cybersecurity and compliance—being a prerequisite to price evaluation.
