THINNER, PAINT PRODUCTS

The U.S. Defense Logistics Agency awarded a delivery order under basic contract SPE8ES24D0005 to ASRC Federal Facilities Logistics, LLC, with a CAGE code of 79343, for the supply of five gallons of paint thinner (NSN 8010001818080) at a total price of $96.25. The order, issued on July 16, 2026, and due for delivery by July 30, 2026, is classified as a Rated Order under the Defense Priorities and Allocations System (DPAS), which mandates priority handling and timely performance. Delivery is required FOB destination to the Hazmat Center at 8672 Edson St, San Diego, CA 92145, with strict instructions against parcel post and a requirement for traceable freight methods. The contractor is a small, disadvantaged, women-owned business, which triggered compliance with FAR 52.219-26 and 52.219-15, though no specific socioeconomic set-aside was formally designated. Inspection and acceptance occur at the delivery point by the government’s Authorized Representative, Nate Prattico from DLA Troop Support, who also serves as the primary point of contact. Payment will be processed by the Defense Finance and Accounting Service in Columbus, Ohio, via EDI using the order number SPE8ES-26-F-62WM. Unit pricing is fixed at $19.25 per gallon with zero allowable variance in quantity. Packaging, marking, and preservation specifications are not detailed beyond mandatory identification referencing BLOCKS 1 and 2 of the order, and no MIL-STD references are cited. The contract lacks explicit FAR/DFARS clauses, special requirements, or evaluation factors, suggesting a streamlined award process consistent with a low-value, lowest-price technologically acceptable approach. A supporting Excel file on unit of issue and purchase unit mapping is referenced, but no formal attachments or section J listing is provided. The transaction is administratively minimal yet constrained by DPAS regulatory obligations and specific shipping directives.
