SCREW, MACHINE

The contract, awarded to BROWN HELICOPTER, INC. under solicitation SPE4A026P2117 by the Defense Logistics Agency, is a Firm Fixed Price award issued on July 7, 2026, for a single line item: a machine screw with NSN 5305-01-472-6217. Although the original contract value appeared to be $342.00 across two line items, both were subsequently canceled via unilateral modification, resulting in a total contract value of $0.00 with no remaining quantities or obligations. The delivery point is Marine Aviation Logistics Squadron 39 at Camp Pendleton, California, with FOB Origin terms placing payment responsibility on the government, and the single scheduled delivery date is August 21, 2026. Packaging and marking must strictly adhere to ASTM D3951 and MIL-STD-129, with palletization following DLA’s RP001 requirements, while all items must be new, unused, and traceable to U.S. government surplus origins, supported by documentation such as DLA Disposition Services Form 1427. Inspection and acceptance occur at the destination and are performed by the government, with an expectation of zero non-conformances. The contract incorporates a comprehensive set of Federal Acquisition Regulation clauses governing payment, subcontracting, cybersecurity, supply chain integrity, and compliance. Mandatory provisions include Accelerated Payments to Small Business Subcontractors, Prompt Payment and Electronic Funds Transfer requirements, and termination for convenience and default clauses. Special requirements mandate compliance with U.S.-flag vessel use for ocean shipments, with waivers requiring detailed justification and certification on invoices. Cybersecurity obligations under FAR 52.204-25 and DFARS 252.204-7012 enforce protection of covered defense information to NIST SP 800-171 standards, requiring immediate reporting of cyber incidents to the Department of Defense within 72 hours. Restrictions on sourcing from certain foreign entities, including those tied to China, Russia, or the Maduro regime, apply, as do prohibitions on specific materials like tantalum, tungsten, and fluorinated fire suppressants. Flow-down requirements extend these clauses to subcontracts exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold. Invoicing is exclusively through WAWF, and all representations, certifications, and compliance attestations must be properly documented, though no offeror-submitted data
