TRETINOIN CREAM

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded Cardinal Health, Inc. a delivery order valued at $127.40 under the basic contract SPE2DX-25-D-8022 to supply 20 units of Tretinoin Cream, identified by NSN 6505014584666 and NDC00574-2205-20, with delivery required by July 20, 2026, to the U.S. Navy vessel USS CHARLESTON LCS 18 at FPO AP 96694. The order was issued on July 18, 2026, and is classified as a delivery purchase order under an IDIQ-type contract, reflecting a streamlined procurement process typical for low-value medical supplies. The contractor is responsible for all shipping costs under FOB destination terms and must use the fastest traceable means of transport, explicitly prohibiting parcel post. Shipment must comply with DLA procedures DLAD PROC NOTE C19 and C20, and utilize the Vendor Shipment Module for RDD 777 tracking, while all packages and documentation must clearly display the basic contract number SPE2DX-25-D-8022 and the delivery order number SPE2D9-26-F-7432. The product label must include the manufacturer’s CAGE code 9MGE4 and the designated part number, with machine-readable identification expected though not formally mandated. Cardinal Health, Inc., identified by CAGE code 00E55, is certified as a small business, small disadvantaged business, and women-owned small business, which imposes ongoing compliance and reporting obligations under federal acquisition regulations. Inspection and acceptance occur at the destination by the Government, with no tolerance permitted for quantity variance—delivered units must exactly match the contract specification. Payment is handled through the Defense Finance and Accounting Service in Columbus, Ohio, under payment code SL4701, using an electronic invoicing system via EDI. The contracting officer is Lisa Quinn, supported administratively by Michelle Pampel, with no designated COR or COTR identified. The award was made under a presumed LPTA methodology given the low cost, lack of technical evaluation criteria, and absence of negotiated terms. Compliance is governed by DLA directives rather than formal military standards, and documentation such as the Unit of Issue and Purchase Unit spreadsheet is referenced for operational guidance, though not formally attached.
