Payment will be processed via DLA’s Financial and Accounting Service in Columbus, OH, using payment code SL4701. The awardee is self-certified as a small business with HUBZone and SDVOSB eligibility, though the acquisition is unrestricted with no affirmative set-aside.

Contract administration is overseen by Trent Daniels, Contracting Officer, and the DCMA Twin Cities office as the administrative point of contact. Official contract value estimates range from $17.7 million to $44.2 million across the base and option periods, reflecting the overall scale of the procurement despite individual delivery order amounts being minimal.
