TUBE ASSEMBLY, METAL

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded CNH INDUSTRIAL AMERICA LLC (CAGE 10988) a delivery order under solicitation SPE7M4-26-T-171P for eight units of a metal tube assembly (NSN 4710015664537) at a total price of $440.00, with delivery required by December 31, 2026. The contract is structured as a simplified acquisition under a government-wide procurement vehicle, with FOB origin terms and delivery to the DLA Distribution facility in New Cumberland, Pennsylvania. The award falls under NAICS code 332999 and does not specify a set-aside status, though multiple FAR clauses related to small business representation and socioeconomic programs are incorporated with deviations. The contractor is responsible for compliance with stringent packaging and labeling standards, including ASTM D3951 as supplemented by the DLA Master List of Technical and Quality Requirements and MIL-STD-129 for shipment marking, with special attention to hazardous material labeling under OSHA and DFARS requirements. Inspection and acceptance occur at the destination by government personnel, and invoicing must be processed via WAWF using the designated DoDAACs and appropriation data. The contract incorporates a broad range of federal acquisition regulations addressing supply chain risk, cybersecurity protections under NIST SP 800-171, whistleblower rights, contractor personnel compensation restrictions, and limitations on information disclosure. Special provisions require adherence to ocean shipping rules mandating U.S.-flag vessels unless waived, with notification deadlines for maritime transport. The contractor must also maintain and submit updated Safety Data Sheets in the event of material changes and comply with all federal hazardous materials laws. Contract administration is managed by Timothy Jones, the Contracting/Ordering Officer, with no designated COR or COTR identified. While the contract does not specify evaluation factors or a formal award basis, the low dollar value and use of simplified acquisition procedures suggest a price-driven selection process under LPTA principles. The contractor is obligated to meet all representations and certifications, though no specific socioeconomic designations or UEI data are disclosed in the award documentation. All terms are binding, with deviations applied to multiple FAR clauses, and the contract includes clauses to enforce compliance with privacy, safety, environmental sustainability, and employment eligibility standards.
