SHEET, METAL

The contract requires the supply of magnesium alloy sheet metal specified as AZ31B in temper H24, with precise dimensions of 0.020 inches thickness, 36.00 inches width, and 144.00 inches length, delivered in whole feet increments only. The material must fully conform to SAE AMS4377K Revision K, ASTM B666/B666M-20, ASTM B660-23, and reference drawing 14153 01735 Revision A, with packaging and marking following MIL-STD-2073-1E and MIL-STD-129R(3). A Certificate of Quality Compliance, or mill material certification, must accompany every shipment and be forwarded to the DLA Troop Support Contracting Officer. Continuous identification markings, including the DLA delivery order number, NSN, specification revision, alloy grade, part number, die number, temper, manufacturer's name, heat and lot number, and dimensions, are mandatory on each unit, applied via stamping or stenciling that is waterproof, legible, and durable; adhesive labels are required for tubes and bars under 0.250 inches in nominal OD. The product must be sourced exclusively from suppliers listed on the Qualified Suppliers List for Distributors (QSLD), and any deviation from this requirement must be explicitly declared, as non-compliance may result in criminal penalties. The government waives source inspection for QSLD-approved suppliers, eliminating the need for COQC, PVT, QAP-EQ003, ASQ H1331, and RQ006 inspections. Packaging must adhere to Level A requirements of ASTM B660 under preservation code ZZ, with palletization following DLA-specific protocols. The contract mandates complete compliance with Federal Acquisition Regulation clauses including 52.211-5, 52.213-4, and 52.246-2, supplemented by deviation 2026-00038 which modifies several FAR clauses to enable simplified acquisition procedures. Offers are prohibited from using additive manufacturing and must comply with the Berry Amendment, requiring domestic sourcing unless non-domestic material is disclosed. The 10-sheet order must be delivered FOB origin within five days of order date, with inspection and acceptance occurring at destination, using Wide Area Workflow for invoicing and receiving reports.
