SUPPORT, RETRACTABLE

The contract solicitation SPE7L3-26-T-100F requires the procurement of eight units of the retractable support item identified by NSN 2590016196412, to be delivered FOB destination to DLA Distribution Cherry Point in North Carolina by January 15, 2027, with a 182-day delivery window from the date of order. All items must be packaged and labeled in strict compliance with DLA-specific standards, where the DLA Master List of Technical and Quality Requirements takes precedence over general standards like ASTM D3951; palletization must adhere to RP001 and all packaging must be marked per MIL-STD-129, including GS1-128 barcodes for automated logistics tracking. The unit of issue is each (EA), with zero variance allowed in quantity, and inspection and acceptance occur at the destination point. The contractor must provide hazardous material information, including Safety Data Sheets compliant with OSHA and federal standards, and is prohibited from using hexavalent chromium unless an exemption is granted. Compliance with cybersecurity requirements under DFARS 252.204-7012 is mandatory, mandating NIST SP 800-171 controls for covered defense information and a 72-hour cyber incident reporting obligation, which must also flow down to subcontractors. The use of covered telecommunications equipment from prohibited vendors such as Huawei and ZTE is banned per DFARS 252.204-7018, and the contractor must certify compliance with this restriction. Additional obligations include adherence to employment and whistleblower rights clauses, affirmative steps to ensure employment eligibility verification, sustainable product procurement, and prohibitions on trafficking in persons and unauthorized obligations. Invoicing must be submitted exclusively through WAWF, and the contractor must maintain a valid Unique Entity Identifier and CAGE Code. The contract type is unspecified but is governed by FAR 52.216-1, and while pricing data is not provided in the CLIN, the solicitation encourages quantity range proposals due to demand volatility. Proposals must be submitted electronically via DIBBS by the July 16, 2026 deadline, and no alternative submission methods are permitted.
