SEAL RING, METAL

The contract, awarded to Atlantic Diving Supply, Inc. under solicitation SPE7LX26FB0Q1 and against the basic indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contract SPE7LX21D0087, is a requirements contract structured to support U.S. Department of Defense logistics through delivery orders issued over a potential ten-year period, spanning from April 1, 2021, to March 31, 2031. The awardee, certified as a Small Disadvantaged Women-Owned Small Business, has been awarded a single line item for one metal seal ring at a unit price of $0.74, though the contract’s total estimated value ranges between approximately $91.6 million and $229 million, reflecting the full potential of all optional periods and delivery orders. Performance is governed by a fixed-price contract with economic price adjustment, and deliveries are made on a per-order basis under FOB Destination or FOB Origin terms depending on the nature of the order. Contract administration is coordinated through the Defense Contract Management Agency in Hampton, with payments processed via Wide Area Workflow and remitted to the DLA Land and Maritime office in Columbus, Ohio. The contract imposes rigorous cybersecurity compliance obligations, requiring adherence to NIST SP 800-171 standards, mandatory reporting of assessment results through the Supplier Performance Risk System, and compliance with prohibitions on the acquisition of covered telecommunications equipment. All submissions related to cybersecurity assessments must be transmitted via designated email and portal systems, and the contractor is bound by clauses mandating the protection of Controlled Unclassified Information, reporting of cyber incidents within 72 hours, and submission of system security plans. Packaging and marking requirements are minimal, specifying traceable shipment methods and the use of contract identifiers but omitting detailed preservation, labeling, or military standard references. The work involves no specified technical performance other than the delivery of specified items, but the overarching framework is designed to enforce supply chain integrity and cybersecurity readiness across all delivery orders, with inspection and acceptance conducted by the government at locations determined by the Place of Inspection Code. The award was made under a Women-Owned Small Business set-aside, subjecting the contractor to small business subcontracting plan obligations and federal reporting through FAPIIS.
