SKIN, AIRCRAFT

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded a fixed-price contract to IBP CONSULTING, INC. (CAGE 6DNG3) for the delivery of 18 units of aircraft skin components, identified by NSN 1560-01-154-9019 and part number 35-10702-837, at a total contract value of $176,400.00. The award was issued on July 20, 2026, with delivery required by August 19, 2026, to Tinker Air Force Base, Oklahoma, under FOB Destination terms, meaning risk of loss transfers upon arrival at the destination. The contract includes strict compliance with military and federal standards for manufacturing, quality control, packaging, and marking, requiring adherence to MIL-STD-2073 for higher-level military packaging, MIL-STD-129P for labeling, ASTM D3951 for commercial shipments, and FED-STD-313 for hazardous material classification. Inspection and acceptance are performed by the government at the delivery point using MIL-STD-1916 or ASQ H1331 zero-based sampling plans, with additional requirements for packing slips, MSDS documentation for overseas HAZMAT shipments, and DLA-specific packaging and palletization standards like RP001. The contract incorporates a comprehensive set of FAR and DFARS clauses governing performance, compliance, and administrative procedures, many modified by deviations effective February and April 2026. These include provisions on small business utilization, equal opportunity, paid sick leave, whistleblower rights, cybersecurity reporting (252.204-7009), antiterrorism training, contractor ethical conduct, and prohibitions on acquiring covered telecommunications equipment. Payment is mandated through WAWF with electronic funds transfer, and accelerated payments to small business subcontractors are required. The contract also enforces DPAS priority ratings and includes clauses on subcontracting controls, supply chain security, and the prohibition of procurement from state sponsors of terrorism. Although no formal evaluation factors or award basis are disclosed, the structure and single-line-item firm-fixed-price format suggest a streamlined, competition-based award under simplified acquisition procedures. The contract contains no options, modifications, or quantity variances, and no attachments or completed offeror representations are documented in the available information.
