SWITCH, SENSITIVE

The contract solicitation SPE7M1-26-U-4360 issued by the Department of Defense’s Maritime Supply Chain under the Defense Logistics Agency seeks the procurement of 627 sensitive switches with an estimated annual quantity, though the actual delivery is contingent on firm orders under an indefinite-delivery contract structure. The contract includes a guaranteed minimum of 94 units after the first delivery order, with a total maximum contract value capped at $350,000. Delivery is required within 131 days after award, with FOB origin terms applying, and all items must comply with strict military packaging standards MIL-STD-2073-1E and labeling requirements per MIL-STD-129 and MIL-STD-130N, including unique item identification and proper hazardous material markings under OSHA’s Hazard Communication Standard. The item is subject to stringent export control under ITAR and DFARS 252.225-7048, limiting access to contractors who have completed DLA-specific training, hold Joint Certification Program credentials, and have formal authorization to handle controlled technical data. Cybersecurity compliance is mandatory at CMMC Level 2, requiring certification by an approved third-party assessment organization. The contract prohibits the use of Class I ozone-depleting chemicals and hexavalent chromium, necessitating substitution approvals where applicable. All invoices must be submitted electronically via Wide Area WorkFlow, and suppliers must comply with clauses covering employment eligibility, anti-human trafficking, whistleblower protections, and restrictions on compensation for former DoD officials. While delivery locations are specified as “see schedule,” the performance and inspection occur at origin, and the contractor is fully responsible for meeting all quality, safety, and regulatory standards without exception. The solicitation does not specify evaluation factors, pricing, or award methodology beyond the structure of the IDC, and no attachments are listed.
