SCREW, MACHINE

The contract awarded to BUTT FAREED AHMAD (CAGE 6ZF42) under solicitation SPE4A6-26-T-08WU is a micro-purchase award by the Defense Logistics Agency for 50 machine screws (NSN 5305010318315) at a total price of $494.50, with an award date of July 29, 2026. Delivery is required to the Defense Logistics Agency Distribution San Joaquin facility in Tracy, California, with a 171-day delivery window after receipt of order, culminating in an estimated ship date of January 17, 2027, and a final delivery deadline of May 11, 2027. The shipment is FOB destination, and all packaging, preservation, and marking must strictly conform to MIL-STD-2073-1E and MIL-STD-129, including specific codes for drying preservation and prohibited use of mercury in materials. Hazardous material labeling is governed by 29 CFR 1910.1200 and Federal Standard No. 313, requiring submission of Safety Data Sheets prior to award and ongoing updates if composition changes occur. The contract mandates electronic invoicing through Wide Area WorkFlow exclusively and prohibits use of the Invoice Payment Processing system. Compliance with numerous federal acquisition regulations is embedded throughout the contract, including clauses on equal opportunity for workers with disabilities, combating human trafficking, employment eligibility verification, sustainable products, cybersecurity safeguards, and prohibition of hexavalent chromium and covered defense telecommunications equipment. Alternate versions of clauses related to contract type and equal opportunity have been implemented with specific waivers applied. The contractor is required to affirm small business status and provide Unique Entity Identifier and CAGE code information per federal requirements, though no socioeconomic set-aside designation is specified. The government retains inspection and acceptance authority at destination, applying MIL-STD-105 sampling standards with a zero non-conformance requirement for critical attributes. No contract type is explicitly stated, but the structure and low dollar value indicate a firm-fixed-price award consistent with a micro-purchase methodology. All administrative contacts, payment details, and appropriation codes will be finalized in the resulting award documentation, and no formal evaluation factors, weights, or adjectival ratings are documented, suggesting award was based on price and compliance alone.
