TIP, PIPET

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded a fixed-price contract to MIDLAND SCIENTIFIC INC for the procurement of 10 cases of stepper pipette tips, identified by NSN 6640016073383 and PR 7017324178, at a total value of $725.40, with delivery required within 20 days after delivery order issuance under FOB Destination terms to FPO, ZIP 09566-4008. Each case contains 50 units, and the item is a specialized laboratory consumable designed for use with repeater pipettes to enable precise, repeated dispensing without refilling. The contract specifies commercial packaging standards per MIL-STD-2073-1E at Packing Level B, palletization per DLA’s RP001, and marking in accordance with Medical Marking Standard No. 1, superseding MIL-STD-129, though certain markings still reference MIL-STD-129 for radioactive materials. Hazardous materials must be labeled per 29 CFR 1910.1200, and items containing radioactive substances above specified thresholds must bear markings compliant with MIL-STD-129. Inspection and acceptance occur at the destination under FAR 52.246-2, with quality requirements incorporated from DLA’s Master List via RA001 and RQ011 for removal of government identification from non-accepted supplies. The contract includes numerous federal acquisition regulation clauses governing ethics, safety, compliance, and operations, including prohibitions on mandatory arbitration, trafficking in persons, employment eligibility verification, and the use of hexavalent chromium, as well as requirements for sustainable products, hazardous material identification, and radioactive material handling. All contractors must maintain active SAM registration and comply with the Buy American Act and Berry Amendment for domestic sourcing. Payment must be submitted electronically via Wide Area Workflow using web entry, EDI, or FTP, with invoices and receiving reports required for delivered items. The solicitation, issued as an RFQ under SPE2DH-26-T-5099, is not a small business set-aside, and offerors must certify compliance with socioeconomic representations, cybersecurity standards under NIST SP 800-171, and disclosure of covered defense telecommunications equipment. Technical data is accessible through a DLA portal, and all submissions were due by July 20, 202
