The contract is for the procurement of five Slinger Decoupler units identified by NSN 2835-01-019-1192, issued under solicitation SPE4A6-26-T-04FX by the Department of Defense’s ASC Commodities Division. The item is classified as a critical application component requiring casting or forging, with tooling typically involved but not held by the government; suppliers are directed to submit a Casting and Forging Assistance Request for sourcing support.

Cybersecurity compliance requires a CMMC Level 2 Self-Assessment, and government identification must be removed from non-accepted supplies. Each unit is priced at $5.00 for a total value of $25.00, with deliveries due FOB origin in 104 days, inspection and acceptance occurring at the destination. The contract spans four CLINs each allocating five units with identical terms, all under one purchase request and NSN, with a total ordered quantity of 20 units. Delivery is scheduled to meet a need ship date of February 8, 2026, and original required delivery date of April 18, 2026, to the DLA Distribution Depot at Hill AFB, Utah.

All documentation must align with DoD unit of issue standards, and transportation procedures must follow DLAD Proc Notes C19 and C20. The contract mandates strict adherence to quality, security, and packaging protocols as set forth in DLA directives, with no allowance for deviation unless formally amended.
