THUMBSCREW

The contract is for the procurement of 1 bag of a thumbscrew, identified by NSN 5305-01-550-8392, under solicitation SPE4A6-26-T-51A4, issued by the ASC Commodities Division of the Department of Defense. Delivery is required within 20 days of the actual delivery order to the designated location at NSWC IHEODTD in Indian Head, Maryland, with inspection and acceptance taking place at the destination. The item is subject to stringent technical and quality requirements governed by the DLA Master List of Technical and Quality Requirements, and packaging must conform to ASTM D3951 and DLA-specific standards, including MIL-STD-129 for marking and barcoding, and RP001 for palletization. Physical identification of bare items must comply with RQ017, and all export-controlled technical data is bound by ITAR or EAR, requiring prior government authorization for disclosure, even to foreign nationals within the U.S., with access limited to contractors approved under the US/Canada Joint Certification Program and trained in DLA export handling procedures. Cybersecurity compliance is critical, as the contract mandates CMMC Level 2 certification via either a self-assessment or a certified third-party assessment, along with adherence to DFARS 252.204-7012 for safeguarding covered defense information and reporting cyber incidents. Contractors must also comply with NIST SP 800-171 requirements for protecting controlled unclassified information, with assessments rated as Basic, Medium, or High. Hazardous materials must be labeled per OSHA’s Hazard Communication Standard, with MSDS and labels submitted prior to award, and all shipments must meet DoD logistics standards. Offerors must be registered in SAM with valid UEI and CAGE codes, represent accurate small business status and socioeconomic designations if applicable, and affirm compliance with clauses covering trafficking in persons, employment eligibility verification, whistleblower rights, and prohibitions on covered telecommunications equipment. Proposals are to be submitted electronically via DIBBS by May 19, 2026, and invoicing must occur through WAWF. Contract type, pricing, and evaluation factors are not fully specified, but award is likely contingent on technical acceptability and compliance rather than competitive trade-off, with no value stated due to missing unit pricing data.
