SPRING, FLAT

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded a firm fixed-price contract to Jamaica Bearings Co., Inc. (CAGE 04836) for the supply of 271 flat springs, identified by NSN 5360-00-173-3474, at a total price of $31,165.00. The award, issued under delivery order SPE4A124G0002 and solicitation SPE7M4-26-T-4893, was made on July 16, 2026, with required delivery set for August 2, 2027. The items are to be shipped to Arizona Industries for the Blind in Phoenix, AZ, under FOB ORIGIN terms with the government bearing transportation costs. Contract performance is governed by adherence to DLA’s Master List of Technical and Quality Requirements, with packaging mandated to follow ASTM D3951 and MIL-STD-129 standards for marking, labeling, and barcoding, including Unit of Issue and Quantity per Unit Pack details. All invoices and receiving reports must be submitted electronically via WAWF, and government personnel at the destination location will perform inspection and acceptance. The contract includes three mandatory clause deviations: employment reporting for veterans, requirements for sustainable products, and subcontracting rules for commercial items, though the exact alternate text of these clauses is not specified. No options, quantity flexibility, or price adjustments are permitted, and the award reflects a fixed, non-negotiable value. The contractor is required to comply with all applicable packaging, labeling, and documentation protocols, and must ensure removal of government identification from non-accepted items. Additionally, the part is designated as a Critical Application Item, requiring strict technical compliance. While the evaluation basis is not explicitly stated, the small-dollar, fixed-price, no-option nature suggests an LPTA approach. No socioeconomic certifications, size status, or detailed technical specifications beyond packaging and labeling are provided, and key administrative points such as payment office, COR/COTR, or accounting codes are referenced as being located in unstated sections.
