SENDER, FUEL

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded a firm-fixed-price contract to Hyster-Yale Group, Inc. (CAGE 04627) for the procurement of a fuel sender (NSN 2910015750368) under solicitation SPE7L5-26-T-4205, with a total contract value of $732.50 and an award date of July 20, 2026. The delivery is scheduled for January 23, 2027, following a 190-day performance period, with shipment terms designated as FOB origin, meaning risk transfers to the government upon release from the contractor’s facility. The sole delivery point is the DLA Distribution facility in New Cumberland, Pennsylvania, and performance requires strict adherence to MIL-STD-2073-1E for packaging and MIL-STD-129 for marking, labeling, and barcoding, including mandatory cleaning and drying procedures with no preservation or wrapping materials. Invoicing must be submitted exclusively through the Wide Area WorkFlow system, and payment is governed by clauses requiring electronic submission of receiving reports and accelerated payments to small business subcontractors. The contract incorporates a comprehensive set of Federal Acquisition Regulation and Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement clauses, including mandatory cybersecurity protections under NIST SP 800-171 and DFARS 252.240-7997, prohibitions on acquiring telecommunications equipment from designated Chinese military companies, restrictions on hazardous materials such as hexavalent chromium, and requirements for employment eligibility verification and combating human trafficking. Compliance with sustainable product standards and safeguarding contractor information systems is enforced, with deviations authorized under 2026-O0038 for several clauses. The contractor must maintain accurate small business representation, submit certified data if applicable, and adhere to transportation and export control regulations. The award appears to be a low-price technically acceptable procurement under simplified acquisition procedures, with no formal evaluation factors or weighting criteria published, and no options, modifications, or additional line items specified beyond the single deliverable. Contract administration is managed by the DLA, with primary contact Randy Ith, and all compliance, inspection, and acceptance activities are the responsibility of the government at the destination point.
