81--NRP,SHIPPING AND STThis contract, solicitation number SPRPA126RVC02, issued by the Defense Logistics Agency Aviation at Philadelphia, seeks procurement of a specialized plastic container manufactured via rotomolding according to Drawing 05259-829E001, latest revision. The item is critical to defense operations and requires strict adherence to quality standards, including mandatory First Article Testing (FAT) for new manufacturers, with a 120-day delivery window for the FAT unit to the designated government facility. All contractors must comply with MIL-STD-130 for Unique Identification (UID) marking via data matrix on a nameplate, use alkaline Zinc-Nickel Alloy finish per ASTM B841 in place of cadmium plating, and include one-third pound of desiccant per cubic foot of internal volume. Each container must undergo 100% production leak testing using pneumatic pressure methods, with failure thresholds defined by pressure loss, deformation limits, and drop testing requirements, and all tests must be conducted with appropriate safety precautions due to risk of rupture. The government will conduct FAT at its own expense of $10,000 but contractors bear all other associated costs, including shipping, rework, and repeated testing following disapproval. Pre-award surveys and post-award conferences may be required, and prior suppliers may request FAT waiver if they meet specific criteria including identical production within the last three years at the same facility without deviations or rejections. Items must be produced at a single facility, and contractors must certify this to the government. Packaging must meet MIL-STD-2073, and all deliveries must comply with Buy American and trade agreement requirements. For Foreign Military Sales, nameplate language must be updated per buyer instruction. The response deadline is July 20, 2026, and all correspondence must be directed to Makayla Hauser at DLA.

The item requires strict compliance with quality and manufacturing standards, including welding procedures per AWS D1.1, D1.2, D1.3, and D1.6 depending on material, with specific filler metal requirements and stringent cleaning and deoxidizing protocols prior to welding. Each container must include a UID-compliant nameplate in data matrix format in accordance with MIL-STD-130, and must contain one-third cubic foot of desiccant per interior volume. The Navy mandates full implementation of the First Article Test (FAT) process, requiring submission of one unit within 120 calendar days for rigorous evaluation including dimensional inspection, leak testing under 0.25 +/- 0.05 psig for 30 minutes with no loss exceeding 0.05 psi, an 18-inch free-fall drop test, and form and fit verification. All FAT-related costs, shipment, and repairs are the contractor’s responsibility, and the Government retains the right to disapprove and require resubmission at contractor expense. Contracting officers must issue approval, conditional approval, or disapproval within 120 days of receipt, and failure to meet FAT deadlines or rejection may constitute default. The contract enforces mandatory compliance with Buy American and Free Trade Agreements, Security Prohibitions, and Equal Opportunity requirements, while explicitly prohibiting the use of cadmium plating in favor of alkaline zinc-nickel alloy finishes. All tooling, fixtures, and special equipment required for production are the contractor’s sole responsibility, and materials must be inspected and certified to meet specifications. Work instructions must be posted at workstations, and welding areas must be strictly controlled and segregated to prevent contamination. Contractors must notify the buyer prior to shipping First Article samples and submit certifications confirming production occurs at the same facility used for the FAT. Waivers for FAT requirements may be granted only if the offeror has delivered identical items within three years from the same location and facility, with full certification of process consistency and no prior rejections or deviations. All containers must be packaged per MIL-STD-2073, and any FMS containers require specific nameplate revisions approved by the buyer.
