SCREW, CAP, SOCKET HE

DC PRECISION LLC has been awarded a firm-fixed-price contract valued at $58,462.70 by the Defense Logistics Agency under solicitation SPE4A6-26-T-252S, with an award date of July 20, 2026. The contract includes two line items: 6,426 units of SCREW, CAP, SOCKET HE (NSN 5305003666236) at a unit price of $8.95 totaling $57,512.70, and one unit of Contractor First Article Test at $950.00. Delivery of the production quantity is scheduled for July 30, 2027, with a mandatory First Article Test timeline allowing 135 days for submission of the report, followed by 60 days for government evaluation, and 180 days for final production delivery after approval. Performance and delivery occur at the contractor’s facility in Santa Ana, California, with FOB Origin terms applying, meaning title and risk transfer upon shipment from the manufacturer. The contract mandates strict compliance with MIL-STD-2073-1E for Packaging Method 10 and MIL-STD-129 for marking and bar-coding, requiring special labeling of First Article Exhibits as “Do Not Post to Stock.” Quality assurance is governed by SAE AS9100 under a higher-level contract quality requirement, and the contractor must maintain CMMC Level 2 certification with compliance reporting via SPRS. Payment must be submitted electronically through Wide Area WorkFlow, with no alternative invoicing systems permitted. The contract incorporates numerous FAR and DFARS clauses including provisions for equal opportunity, trafficking in persons, paid sick leave, privacy training, termination for convenience, default, and cybersecurity, with specific deviations approved for clauses related to executive compensation reporting, qualification requirements, and first article testing. The award was based on a trade-off analysis evaluating technical acceptability—including successful FAT completion and qualification status—alongside price reasonableness, not on a lowest-price technically acceptable basis. The contractor must comply with DPAS-rated order priorities and submit required representations regarding CMMC status, executive compensation, and subcontracting data. All packaging, marking, and documentation must meet exacting military and DLA-specific standards, and nonconforming shipments are subject to correction under established contractual procedures.
