TAPE, INSULATION, ELECTRICAL

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded a delivery order under the base contract SPE4A625D5620 to Aircraft & Commercial Enterprises, Inc. (CAGE 8Z281), a certified small business, small disadvantaged business, and women-owned small business, for the procurement of five rolls of electrical insulation tape (NSN 5970009559976) at a total contract value of $40.85. The award was issued on July 15, 2026, with a delivery deadline of July 27, 2026, to the USS ROOSEVELT DDG 80, FPO AA 34092, with FOB origin terms indicating title transfers at the contractor’s location in Debry, Kansas, although inspection and acceptance occur at the destination. The order is classified as a rated order under the Defense Priorities and Allocations System (DPAS), requiring priority handling and compliance with 15 CFR 700 regulations. Packaging and marking requirements mandate inclusion of both the base contract number and delivery order number on all shipments, with no specific MIL-STDs cited; compliance is guided by internal DLA directives. Payment will be processed by the Defense Finance and Accounting Service in Columbus, Ohio, under the appropriation code BX: 97X4930 5CBX 001 2620 S33189. The contracting officer is Kizzy Ward, with administrative support provided by Olivia Hamby, while no named contracting officer’s representative is designated. The award was made under a delivery order structure consistent with an indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (IDIQ) vehicle, and the low-dollar-value nature of the procurement, combined with the absence of technical complexity or performance requirements beyond conformity to the NSN, strongly indicates an LPTA acquisition method. The contractor’s socioeconomic certifications are binding and carry ongoing SAM reporting obligations and potential subcontracting plan requirements, and the use of fast, traceable shipping is required, with parcel post expressly prohibited.
