SCREW, MACHINE

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded a fixed-price delivery order to SPAIRES INC, a small disadvantaged women-owned business with CAGE code 6ZPL8, for the procurement of 17 machine screws (NSN 5305-01-118-2444) at a total contract value of $1,671.61. The contract, issued under solicitation SPE4A6-26-T-32F4 and awarded on July 15, 2026, requires delivery by October 13, 2026, with FOB origin terms at the contractor’s facility in Pensacola, Florida, and final delivery to DLA Distribution Warner Robins in Georgia. The item is classified as surplus or reconditioned material and must strictly comply with MIL-STD-2073-1E packaging standards and MIL-STD-129 marking requirements, including proper identification using contract-specific data and adherence to DLA’s RP001 packaging guidelines. Preservation methods mandate climate-controlled dry storage, and all materials must be inspected and accepted at the destination by government representatives under FAR 52.246-2. The contractor must submit electronic invoices and receiving reports via the Wide Area WorkFlow system and provide a surplus certification document confirming the origin, condition, and any reconditioning or modification history of the material. Compliance with numerous FAR clauses applies, including prompt payment provisions, small business utilization, cybersecurity safeguarding, supply chain security prohibitions including those related to Kaspersky and ByteDance, and affirmative action obligations for veterans and workers with disabilities. The contract includes deviations for security provisions, labor reporting, and sustainable product requirements, all governed by deviation 2026-00038. The small business status triggers limitations on subcontracting and eligibility for program benefits, while DPAS priority ratings require the contractor to prioritize this order in its production schedule. All documentation must be submitted electronically, and no paper or alternative invoicing methods are permitted.
