SHIM STOCK, LAMINATE

The contract specifies the procurement of 79 units of laminated steel shim stock measuring 0.062 inches thick, 8 inches wide, and 48 inches long, identified by NSN 9515-00-243-1848, and governed by the SAE AMS2807C and SAE AMS-DTL-22499B technical specifications. All material must be supplied in whole-foot lengths and comply with strict continuous identification marking requirements on every unit, 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 applied via stamping or stenciling—excluding die stamping—with legible, waterproof, and non-contaminating ink that withstands normal handling. Adhesive labels are required for items under 0.250 inches nominal OD, and tags are acceptable for wire. Packaging must adhere to MIL-STD-2073-1E with special code ZZ per ASTM A700, and all shipments must follow MIL-STD-129 for labeling. Palletization must conform to DLA’s RP001 requirements, and delivery is mandated FOB origin to the Defense Logistics Agency facility in New Cumberland, Pennsylvania, with a strict 27-day delivery window ending December 14, 2026. Each shipment must include a Certificate of Quality Compliance (Mill-Material Certification), with a copy forwarded to the DLA Troop Support Contracting Officer. Inspection and acceptance occur at destination, and the government retains full rights to inspect and reject non-conforming material. The solicitation mandates compliance with the Qualified Suppliers List for Distributors (QSLD), restricting eligibility to only those suppliers listed on the official QSLD, with deviations requiring explicit disclosure. Any product not sourced from an approved QSLD distributor constitutes an unauthorized substitution, potentially triggering criminal penalties. Quality conformance inspections referenced in QAP-EQ003, ASQ H1331, and RQ006 are waived for contractors complying with the QSL program, except for Foreign Military Sales. The contractor must also submit Safety Data Sheets (SDS) prior to award for any hazardous materials, in compliance with 29 CFR 1910.1200, and ensure all labeling meets Hazard Communication Standard requirements unless
