The Defense Logistics Agency awarded ARGO TURBOSERVE CORPORATION, a small business with CAGE code 7Y333, a firm fixed-price contract valued at $295,327.80 for the delivery of six SHELL, COOLER units identified by NSN 4310011079706. The contract was awarded on July 16, 2026, under solicitation SPE7M1-26-T-7587, with delivery scheduled for November 3, 2027, following a 475-day performance period starting from the order date. The items are to be shipped FOB origin with government-paid transportation to DLA Distribution Puget Sound in Bremerton, Washington, where government representatives will inspect and accept the goods upon arrival. Compliance with MIL-STD-2073-1E for packaging, MIL-STD-129 for marking and labeling, and DLA’s RP001 packaging requirements is mandatory, including the use of specific preservation methods, wrapping materials, and unit container types. Barcoding per MIL-STD-129 is required, and while no Unique Item Identifier (IUID) is explicitly mandated, the unit cost exceeding $5,000 makes IUID compliance likely applicable. The contract mandates electronic payment submission through Wide Area WorkFlow (WAWF), and the contractor must maintain active SAM.gov registration. The contract incorporates several far and dfars clauses addressing veteran employment reporting, sustainable product procurement, prohibitions on procurement from the Xinjiang region, and disclosure of foreign ownership. The contractor affirmed small business status, triggering ongoing compliance with FAR 52.219-6, but does not hold any additional socioeconomic certifications. Payment is tied to successful WAWF submissions, and the appropriation line for financial tracking is BX: 97X4930 5CBX 001 2620 S33189. No options or quantity variances are allowed, and the contract contains no identified administrative contacts beyond the contracting officer and a local administrative point of contact.
