STRAP ASSEMBLY, NAPE

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded GENTEX CORPORATION, a small business with CAGE code 97427, a delivery order under the indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity contract SPE1C1-21-D-1493 for the supply of strap assemblies for nape applications, with a total contract price of $13,885.00, issued on July 15, 2026. The delivery order includes two line items identified by National Stock Numbers 8475013968704 and 8475013968703, both tied to the same purchase request number. The contract spans a five-year period beginning September 9, 2021, with annual ordering periods and a 120-day production lead time for all deliveries, which must be completed on or before specified dates such as November 30, 2026. Delivery locations vary per order and are assigned dynamically, with FOB destination as the standard shipping term, though inspection and acceptance occur at the contractor’s origin in Simpson, PA. Payment is processed exclusively through the Wide Area WorkFlow system to the designated office in Columbus, Ohio, under accounting line 97X4930 5CBX 001 2620 S33189. The contract incorporates multiple Federal Acquisition Regulation clauses covering cybersecurity safeguards, cyber incident reporting, defense priority and allocation, accelerated payments to small business subcontractors, and U.S.-flag vessel requirements for sea transport. Packaging and marking must comply with DoD logistics standards, including NSN labeling and traceability, with implied adherence to MIL-STD-129 and cargo preference laws, though explicit preservation methods and standards are not detailed. The contractor is required to maintain compliance with the System for Award Management representations, safeguard covered defense information as defined by NIST SP 800-171, and ensure all invoices are submitted electronically through WAWF. No Contracting Officer’s Representative or technical representative is identified, and the Government retains full inspection and acceptance authority. While the base contract value is estimated at over half a million dollars across 23 line items with five-year pricing escalation, this delivery order represents a single, limited acquisition under the broader IDIQ contract.
