The contract is set to commence on 1 August 2026, or the date of award if later, with a base performance period of one year through 31 July 2027, and includes two one-year option periods extending through 31 July 2029. The solicitation, identified as W9124D26QA150, is 100% set aside for small businesses under NAICS code 311991 with a size standard of 700 employees, and is restricted to Women-Owned Small Businesses, Economically Disadvantaged Women-Owned Small Businesses, and 8(a) program participants. All offerors must be registered in SAM.gov and maintain active registration throughout contract performance. Proposals must be submitted electronically via email to Galina Halterman or Darrell May by 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time on 8 July 2026, and must be in PDF format; faxes and physical submissions will not be accepted. The solicitation was posted on SAM.gov on 25 June 2026, and potential offerors are required to monitor the site for any amendments. Award will be made on a Lowest Priced Technically Acceptable (LPTA) basis, with no trade-offs permitted between cost and non-cost factors. Technical acceptability is determined by two mandatory criteria: first, the offeror must submit a legible copy of a health inspection report from a state or local authority issued within the preceding 12 months, with a rating of “A,” “B” (85 or higher), or “pass” under a pass/fail system; failure to meet this results in rejection. Second, past performance must be evaluated as acceptable, requiring relevant experience within the last 36 months on contracts valued at $25,000 or more, though an unknown performance record is considered acceptable. Items delivered under this contract must comply with extensive marking and identification requirements under MIL-STD-130 and ISO/IEC 16022, including application of a two-dimensional Data Matrix Unique Item Identifier
