53--STUD,PLAIN

This contract, issued under solicitation number SPE7LX-26-U-8936 by the Defense Logistics Agency’s Strategic Acquisition Program Directorate, is a small business set-aside for the procurement of 131 plain studs, identified by NSN 5307-01-575-4451, under an indefinite-delivery contract framework. The requirement is non-binding, with the listed quantity of 131 units explicitly noted as an estimate, and no fixed unit or total price is established until individual delivery orders are issued. Delivery is required within 14 days of order placement, FOB origin, with inspection and acceptance occurring at the destination. Packaging and marking must strictly adhere to MIL-STD-129 for labeling and barcoding, while palletization follows RP001: DLA Packaging Requirements for Procurement; all requirements from the DLA Master List of Technical and Quality Requirements take precedence over ASTM D3951. The contract mandates compliance with hazardous materials labeling under 29 CFR 1910.1200, requiring submission of hazard warning labels and Safety Data Sheets prior to award, with ongoing updates mandatory for any material changes. The solicitation is governed by a comprehensive set of FAR and DFARS clauses covering equal opportunity, anti-trafficking, employment eligibility verification, sustainable procurement, cybersecurity safeguarding, subcontracting, payment acceleration for small businesses, and controlled defense information protection, including specific requirements under NIST SP 800-171 and DFARS 252.204-7012 for cyber incident reporting. Invoicing is exclusively through the Wide Area WorkFlow (WAWF) system, and the contract is subject to the DoD’s unique entity identifier and CAGE code requirements. No evaluation factors or award methodology are specified, but the context suggests a potential Lowest Price Technically Acceptable approach. The contract is issued under NAICS code 332322 and is limited to small business participants, with all submissions required through the DLA eProcurement portal after registration in AMPS, with a response deadline of August 6, 2026. The contract includes provisions for Government inspections, liability for compliance with federal safety laws, and unlimited rights to use submitted safety documentation, while prohibiting acquisition of covered defense telecommunications equipment under DFARS 252.204-7018.
