43--SPINDLE ASSEMBLY

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded SARCO INC, with CAGE code 0ABX5, a firm-fixed-price contract valued at $121,988.00 for the procurement of four spindle assemblies identified by NSN 4320-01-192-4193 under solicitation SPE7M1-24-T-228R, with the contract number SPE7M124V6390 and an award date of July 16, 2026. The contract was modified via P00001 to reduce the original quantity from five to four units, resulting in a corresponding financial decrease of $30,497.00, with the modification executed under FAR 13.302(a) as part of simplified acquisition procedures. The contract is administered by DLA Land and Maritime in Columbus, Ohio, with Taren Hayes serving as the contracting officer, and Patrick Samura listed as the initiating official with contact details provided. The place of performance and FOB terms are not specified, though the contractor’s location is identified as Cherry Hill, New Jersey. Delivery was originally due by October 18, 2025, but that deadline has lapsed without fulfillment. Inspection and acceptance authority rests with the government, though specific inspection criteria, quality standards, or technical specifications governing the spindle assembly are not detailed in the available documents. Packaging, preservation, and marking requirements align with standard military practices, including implied compliance with MIL-STD-129 due to the NSN and government nature of the item, though explicit instructions are absent. No attachments, evaluation factors, representation certifications, or socioeconomic status information were provided in the available materials, and payment, invoicing, and accounting details such as TAS, AAC, or WAWF instructions are also not included. The award was likely made on a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable basis consistent with the simplified acquisition threshold and absence of trade-off evaluation criteria.
