SCREW, MACHINE

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded contract SPE4A626PT326 to XXL TRANSPORTATION L.L.C. (CAGE 170H9) for the procurement of 4,000 units of a machine screw (NSN 5305-00-054-4471), with delivery required 244 days after the date of order under FOB origin terms to DLA Distribution Puget Sound in Bremerton, WA. Although the total contract value and unit price are not specified in the available documentation, the acquisition is structured as a fixed-price contract with inspection and acceptance occurring at the destination, requiring full compliance with military standards including MIL-STD-129 for packaging marking and MIL-STD-130N for item-level barcoding of defense assets. The contractor must adhere to ASTM D3951 packaging requirements, with the DLA Master List of Technical and Quality Requirements taking precedence where applicable, and must ensure all materials are properly identified with their unit of issue and quantity per unit pack. The supply chain must be free of prohibited sources including Kaspersky Lab and ByteDance products, and all deliveries must meet traceability and condition certification standards for government surplus material. The contract incorporates extensive compliance obligations under the Federal Acquisition Regulation, including mandatory provisions for combating human trafficking, equal opportunity for veterans and workers with disabilities, paid sick leave under Executive Order 13706, and supply chain restrictions under the Federal Acquisition Supply Chain Security Act. Cybersecurity requirements demand adherence to NIST SP 800-171 for Controlled Unclassified Information protection and FedRAMP Moderate baseline compliance for cloud services, with mandatory cyber incident reporting to the DoD. The contractor is required to flow down these security obligations to subcontractors. Invoicing must be submitted electronically through WAWF using approved document types, with payment processed via Department of Defense Activity Address Codes. Special representations under FAR and DFARS require disclosure of Unique Entity Identifier and CAGE code, along with business size and socioeconomic status certifications, though actual offeror responses are not available. The award was determined through a trade-off process where past performance, particularly SPRS and PPIRS-RC assessments, held significant weight relative to price, with all other non-price factors considered approximately equal in value. Failure to comply with any clause, including those restricting procurement from inverted domestic corporations or those mandating hazardous material labeling, may result in default termination under the contract’s standard clauses
