The contract is for the procurement of 23 units of a close tolerance screw with NSN 5305-01-186-1231 under solicitation SPE4A6-26-T-71F0 issued by the Defense Logistics Agency’s ASC Commodities Division. Delivery is required 46 days after order placement at a designated facility in Tracy, California, with FOB Origin terms applying. The item is subject to stringent technical and quality requirements governed by the DLA Master List of Technical and Quality Requirements, which supersedes commercial standards such as ASTM D3951. Packaging and labeling must strictly follow DLA’s RP001 requirements and MIL-STD-129 for shipment identification, barcoding, and marking, including bare item identification per RQ017.

Compliance with DFARS 252.225-7048 is mandatory, and disclosure of technical data to foreign persons is prohibited without prior approval. Inspection and acceptance occur at the destination, with the contractor responsible for implementing a quality system aligned with SAE AS9003 or ISO 9001, and applying sampling methods per MIL-STD-1916 or ASQ H1331 to ensure zero non-conformances. Government acceptance authority remains vested at the delivery point, supported by required documentation such as Safety Data Sheets compliant with 29 CFR 1910.1200 and adherence to hazard communication standards. The contract mandates use of Wide Area WorkFlow for invoicing and receiving reports and requires compliance with a broad suite of FAR and DFARS clauses addressing cybersecurity (252.204-7012), trafficking in persons, employment eligibility verification, sustainable products, and prohibitions on hexavalent chromium and covered defense telecommunications equipment. Offerors must submit all responses via the DIBBS portal by June 3, 2026, and disclose UEI and CAGE codes for themselves and any joint venture partners if claiming small business or socioeconomic status. The contract type, pricing, and total value remain unspecified, with the solicitation allowing flexibility in quantity responses but requiring full compliance with all technical, quality, and regulatory mandates.
