SCREW, MACHINE

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded JO-KELL INC. (CAGE 5V049) a firm-fixed-price contract valued at $1,709.82 for the purchase of 531 machine screws (NSN 5305-01-292-7196) under solicitation SPE7M2-26-T-5306, with an award date of July 20, 2026. Deliveries are due by February 5, 2027, or no later than 200 days after the order date, with FOB origin terms meaning the contractor is responsible for making the items available at their facility while the government assumes all transportation costs and risks beyond that point. The final delivery location is the DLA Distribution facility at New Cumberland, Pennsylvania. The contract requires strict compliance with MIL-STD-2073-1E for packaging and preservation, including dry climate control and prohibition of mercury compounds, except in specified functional components under NAVSEA guidance, and MIL-STD-129 for marking, labeling, and barcoding with UCC-128 or Data Matrix codes. Inspection and acceptance occur at the destination by government personnel, with sampling based on MIL-STD-1916 and zero non-conformances required under MIL-STD-105/ASQ Z1.4 unless otherwise directed. The contract includes a comprehensive set of regulatory clauses from both FAR and DFARS governing employment practices, cybersecurity, hazardous materials, subcontracting, and payment procedures. Key clauses mandate compliance with electronic invoicing via WAWF, safeguarding of covered defense information per DFARS 252.204-7012, prohibitions on mercury and hexavalent chromium, and adherence to NIST SP 800-171 assessment requirements. The contractor must represent its small business status and provide UEI and CAGE codes as required, and is subject to clauses addressing trafficking in persons, employment eligibility verification, sustainable products, and whistleblower protections. Although the specific contract type is left blank in FAR 52.216-1, the use of an automated simplified acquisition and fixed pricing structure indicates a firm-fixed-price arrangement. No options, modifications, or additional line items are defined, and the contract does not reference key personnel, security clearances, or organizational conflict of interest provisions.
