SHEET, METAL

The contract solicits 13 sheets of corrosion and heat-resistant steel, specifically Type CB-TA, Composition 347, with a cold-rolled, solution heat-treated finish, sheared edges, and a 2D overall descaled surface, measuring 0.063 inches thick, 36 inches wide, and 120 inches long, weighing approximately 79.38 pounds per sheet. All material must conform precisely to these dimensions without the use of test coupons, and must be supplied in whole-foot lengths only—10, 11, or 12 feet. Compliance with SAE AMS5512N and SAE AMS2807C standards is required, and each shipment must include a Certificate of Quality Compliance (Mill-Material Certification) delivered both with the product and forwarded to the DLA Troop Support Contracting Officer. Continuous marking on every unit is mandatory, including the DLA contract delivery order number, NSN, specification revision, grade, class, type, alloy, part number, die number, temper, manufacturer’s name, heat and lot number, and dimensions; markings must be legible, waterproof, stable, and applied via stamping (excluding die stamp) or stenciling, without contamination or performance degradation. Adhesive labels are required for bars, tubes, and shapes under 0.250 inches nominal OD, and tags are acceptable for wires. Packaging must follow MIL-STD-2073-1E and ASTM A700 guidelines for preservation codes Z and ZZ, with cushioning and bracing ensuring protection from physical damage, and palletization compliant with DLA packaging requirements. Marking must also adhere to MIL-STD-129, and when dual units are referenced, both quantities must appear on shipment labels. Only suppliers listed on the Qualified Suppliers List for Distributors (QSLD) are eligible for award under this solicitation, as mandated by DLA Troop Support’s procurement note M03; non-compliant bids are considered exceptions and subject to rejection. Source inspection is waived for qualifying QSLD suppliers, relieving them of requirements such as COQC, PVT, QAP-EQ003, ASQ H1331, and RQ006. The procurement is governed by the DLA Master Solicitation for Automated Simplified Acquisitions Revision 105 and incorporates numerous FAR and DFARS clauses including FAR 52.24
