SEAL, NONMETALLIC ST

The contract specifies the procurement of 120 units of a nonmetallic strip seal, identified by NSN 5330015450627 and part number 1367728 from CATERPILLAR INC, under solicitation SPE7L3-26-T-099M, issued by the Defense Logistics Agency’s Land Supplier Operations Vehicle Support office. The item is subject to stringent packaging requirements due to its susceptibility to ultraviolet degradation, mandating enclosure in a medium-duty, waterproof, greaseproof, and opaque bag conforming to MIL-DTL-117, Type II, Class C, Style 1, applicable to direct vendor delivery, foreign military sales, and stock shipments. Packaging must also comply with MIL-STD-2073-1E for preparation and MIL-STD-129 for marking, including standardized barcoding and labeling, with no special marking required and palletization governed by DLA’s RP001 packaging standards. Delivery is due 180 days from contract award, with a required delivery date of January 13, 2027, to receiving warehouse 57 in Tracy, California, under FOB origin terms, with inspection and acceptance occurring at destination. Quantity is fixed at 120 units with zero variance permitted. The contract incorporates multiple technical and quality requirements referenced in the DLA Master List of Technical and Quality Requirements, and mandates compliance with FAR and DFARS clauses covering hazardous material identification, safeguarding of information systems, trafficking in persons, employment eligibility, sustainable products, and ocean transportation rules, including notification for use of foreign-flag vessels and submission of ocean bills of lading. The contractor must register and submit invoices exclusively through Wide Area WorkFlow, maintain current System for Award Management (SAM) records, and ensure all hazardous and radioactive materials are labeled and documented per OSHA and MIL-STD-129 guidelines. Small business representation, unique entity ID, and CAGE code disclosures are required, though no socioeconomic set-aside is specified. The contract does not disclose unit price or total value, and evaluation factors for award are not provided, suggesting an automated, low-value simplified acquisition process governed by FAR Part 13.
