The contract is administered by the Defense Logistics Agency under the Department of Defense and is tied to the award SPE60225D0489 with delivery order SPE60226FD01P.

The place of performance and point of contact details are not provided, suggesting that tasks may be performed across various locations under the prime contractor’s management. Certified small businesses should proactively seek subcontracting opportunities with eligible prime contractors to align their capabilities with the needs of this arrangement.
