TOLUENE

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded a delivery order under the basic contract SPE4AX-16-D-9008 to ASRC FEDERAL FACILITIES LOGISTICS, LLC (CAGE 79343), a small disadvantaged and women-owned small business, for the procurement of one gallon of TOLUENE (NSN 6810002812002) at a total contract price of $14.80. The order was issued on July 21, 2026, with a delivery deadline of October 19, 2026, to the DLA Distribution Consolidation and Containerization Point in New Cumberland, Pennsylvania. The delivery is FOB destination, meaning the contractor bears all transportation responsibility and risk until receipt at the final site, where government representatives will conduct inspection and acceptance. The item is supplied under simplified acquisition procedures, consistent with a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) approach, with no technical evaluations or trade-off analyses applicable due to the commoditized nature of the product. Invoicing must comply with DFARS 252.232-7003, and payments will be processed electronically through WAWF to the Defense Finance and Accounting Service in Columbus, Ohio. Packaging and marking requirements mandate clear labeling with the contract and purchase order numbers, use of DLA BDN barcodes, and integration with EDI systems, though specific MIL-STD standards for packaging or preservation are not documented. The contract does not include options, modifications, or special requirements beyond standard compliance, and no technical specifications for the chemical properties of toluene are provided. The contracting officer representative is Amanda Parker, with administration handled by DLA Aviation in Richmond, Virginia. The contractor’s socioeconomic status as a small disadvantaged and women-owned business was affirmed, triggering compliance with FAR 19.130 and DPAS priority rating under 15 CFR 700, requiring adherence to defense allocation priorities and ongoing reporting obligations.
