SCREW, MACHINE

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded contract SPE4A626PY307 to GULF PRODUCTS & SERVICES (CAGE 5YPU3) for the supply of one machine screw (NSN 5305016226041) under solicitation SPE4A6-26-T-59M6, with an award date of July 17, 2026. The contract specifies delivery of a single unit with zero variance allowed, FOB Origin, and a 20-day delivery window from the receipt of order, with final destination at Explosive Ordnance Disposal Group 1 in San Diego, California. All items must comply strictly with MIL-STD-2073-1E for packaging and MIL-STD-129 for marking, including government property identification per RQ017, DLA packaging standard RP001, and requirements for barcoding and preservation through cleaning and drying without additional materials. The screw must be marked permanently, labeled appropriately, and shipped with no hazardous, toxic, or radioactive content unless pre-approved with advance notification. The contract enforces compliance with numerous FAR and DFARS clauses related to employment eligibility, human trafficking, sustainable products, cybersecurity (NIST SP 800-171 and Safeguarding Covered Defense Information), export controls, and prohibition of hexavalent chromium and Communist Chinese military company items. Electronic invoicing through WAWF is mandatory, and payment instructions follow Wide Area Workflow protocols. The contractor must immediately report any safety issues and remove all government markings from rejected items. While the unit price and total contract value are not disclosed, the contract includes clauses for accelerated payments to small business subcontractors, unenforceability of unauthorized obligations, and limitations on subcontracting commercial products. No evaluation factors, option quantities, or contract type have been specified, and the absence of pricing data suggests this is a firm fixed-price award based on a simplified acquisition. All submissions and communications are handled through the DIBBS portal, with Alexander Sotos as the primary point of contact.
