SUPPORT, ARCH

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded a firm-fixed-price contract to PACIFIC STAR CORPORATION (CAGE 4QNY3) for six pairs of arch supports under line item CLIN 0001, with a total contract value of $76.20. The award was issued on July 21, 2026, under solicitation SPE2DS-26-T-238Y, with delivery required by September 21, 2026, under a 60-day As Directed Order term to FORT BLISS TX 79918-0000, FOB DESTINATION. The item is a male size 10-11 rubber-based nylon arch support with a green lower portion, designed to reduce shock, blisters, and calluses and is washable with imprinted nitrogen bubbles. The contract includes mandatory compliance with MIL-STD-2073-1E for packaging and preservation, and Medical Marking Standard No. 1 for labeling, which supersedes MIL-STD-129, despite a conflicting reference in DFARS clause 252.204-7000 for hazardous materials, which must also comply with OSHA’s Hazard Communication Standard (29 CFR 1910.1200). The contract incorporates a suite of FAR and DFARS clauses, including alternate versions for Type of Contract, Equal Opportunity for Workers with Disabilities, Combating Trafficking in Persons, Employment Eligibility Verification, Sustainable Products, Hazardous Materials, Authorization and Consent, and requirements for electronic payment submission via Wide Area WorkFlow (WAWF). The awardee, as a small business, is required to maintain representation of its socioeconomic status, and clauses related to export control, prohibition on hexavalent chromium, and acquisition restrictions for Communist Chinese Military Companies are applied. No options, indefinite-delivery provisions, or extended pricing ranges are included. Invoice submission must be through WAWF using Invoice 2in1, with no allowance for IPP. Inspection and acceptance occur at the destination by government representatives, and the contracting officer’s contact details are to be obtained from the DD 1155 form. Although specific evaluation factors, key personnel requirements, security clearances, or organizational conflict of interest provisions are not identified, the contract relies on automated systems and streamlined procedures typical of micro-purchase level actions.
