STUD, TURNLOCK FASTE

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded a firm-fixed-price delivery order to Apollo Aerospace Components LLC, a small disadvantaged and women-owned small business with CAGE code 00360, for the procurement of 367 units of a stud turnlock fastener (NSN 5325-00-753-7485) at a total contract value of $16,001.20. The award, issued under solicitation SPE4A1-25-T-5295 and effective July 20, 2026, requires delivery 378 days after the order date to the DLA Distribution Depot in Oklahoma City at Tinker Air Force Base, with FOB origin terms applying. The contract enforces strict compliance with military and industry standards including MIL-STD-129 for marking and labeling, ASTM D3951 and RP001 for packaging and palletization, and RQ017 for bare item identification, with DLA’s Master List of Technical and Quality Requirements taking precedence over general standards. Inspection and acceptance are performed by the government at the delivery point under FAR 52.246-2, using MIL-STD-1916 sampling procedures, and invoices must be submitted electronically via WAWF. The contract incorporates a comprehensive suite of federal and defense regulations covering small business utilization, labor standards including paid sick leave and minimum wages, whistleblower protections, trafficking in persons, supply chain security prohibitions, export controls under DFARS 252.225-7048 and 252.225-7052, sustainable products, and antiterrorism training. The awardee is subject to DPAS priority requirements and must ensure supply chain traceability of parts while confirming no access to DLA-controlled technical data. The contractor’s socioeconomic status as a small disadvantaged and women-owned small business triggers certification requirements under FAR 19.1305, and compliance with ITAR/EAR export controls is mandatory due to the nature of the item. The contract includes no options or quantity variations and is issued under a simplified acquisition procedure, consistent with a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable approach given the absence of enumerated evaluation factors and the emphasis on mandatory compliance criteria such as JCP certification and export control access.
