(CAGE 9U103) for the procurement of one line item: a SWITCH, FLOW (NSN 5930015661046), with a total contract value of $8,248.47. The award was issued on July 21, 2026, under solicitation SPE7M8-26-T-1820, and delivery is required to be completed no later than January 5, 2027, within 168 days of award. The item is to be delivered FOB Origin from the contractor’s facility in New Lenox, Illinois, to the DLA Distribution facility in New Cumberland, Pennsylvania, with the government assuming transportation costs and risk from the point of origin. Performance is governed by stringent military standards including MIL-STD-129 for marking and labeling and MIL-STD-2073-1E for packaging, with additional compliance required for hazardous materials under 29 CFR 1910.1200 and NAVSEA 5100-003D for mercury-containing components. Packaging must use cold/dry preservation and conform to DLA-specific requirements referenced in RP001 and RA001, while barcoding must include both linear and 2D data matrix codes. Inspection and acceptance occur at the destination by an authorized government representative, with the government retaining full authority over quality verification. The contract incorporates multiple federal acquisition regulation clauses related to employment eligibility, trafficking in persons, sustainable products, patent indemnity, cybersecurity safeguards, and accelerated payments to small business subcontractors, all applied under a deviation (2026-00038). The contractor is required to use U.S.-flag vessels for any ocean transport, must submit comprehensive Safety Data Sheets prior to award, and notify the Contracting Officer if radioactive materials are present, with noncompliance potentially triggering equitable adjustments.

The contract includes no options, modifications, or socioeconomic certifications from the awardee, and no Contracting Officer’s Technical Representative or Contracting Officer’s Representative is identified, though administrative support is provided by Cheryl Pillitteri at DLA Land and Maritime Nuclear Reactor Program.
