STEM, FLUID VALVE

Contract SPE7M422P3590 was awarded by the Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime to B & J Machine Limited Partnership for a total price of $8,300.25. The contract covers the procurement of fluid valve stems under NSN 4820-01-443-5136. Performance and inspection occur at the contractor's facility in Williamstown, Kentucky, with final delivery to DLA Distribution in Tracy, California. The contract is governed by several Federal Acquisition Regulation clauses, including FAR 52.243-1 for fixed-price changes and FAR 52.249-8 for default. Subsequent modifications P00002 and P00003 were issued to address quality deficiencies involving machining defects on the shoulder sealing surface of the valve stems. Modification P00002 established CLIN 0002 for the free-issue resupply of 11 non-conforming units by October 16, 2026, noting that failure to deliver corrected material would result in a government debt of $2,608.65. Modification P00003 created CLIN 0003 as an administrative line for the return of the defective items. All shipments must comply with MIL-STD-129 marking requirements, specifically including a label stating Resupply due to Quality Notification, and invoicing must be processed through the Wide Area Workflow system.
