TUBE ASSEMBLY, METAL

The contract pertains to the procurement of a metal tube assembly with NSN 4710-01-452-1107, requiring a quantity of 14 feet with a potential increase up to 15.4 feet under a plus 10 percent option, to be delivered to Whiteman Air Force Base, Missouri, within 20 days after delivery order issuance on an FOB Origin basis. The solicitation, issued under SPE7M4-26-T-038C, is a federal procurement managed by the Department of Defense’s Fluid Handling Division through the Defense Logistics Agency, with responses due by May 13, 2026, and must be submitted electronically via the DLA Internet Bid Board System. Compliance with DLA Packaging Requirements (RP001), MIL-STD-129 for marking and labeling, and ASTM D3951 for packaging is mandatory, including bar-coding for logistics tracking. Inspection and acceptance occur at destination under FAR 52.246-2, with the government responsible for verification. Cybersecurity compliance is a core requirement, mandating implementation of NIST SP 800-171 controls, submission of a CMMC Level 2 self-assessment, and posting of assessment results to the Supplier Performance Risk System, alongside adherence to 252.204-7012 for safeguarding covered defense information and reporting cyber incidents. Contractors must be registered in SAM with a valid UEI and CAGE Code, and are subject to clauses prohibiting acquisition of covered telecommunications equipment from specified foreign entities. All employees must be informed of whistleblower rights, and hazardous materials, if applicable, require proper labeling per OSHA, MIL-STD-129, and submission of Material Safety Data Sheets. Invoicing is exclusively through Wide Area WorkFlow, and the contract type remains to be determined by the Contracting Officer but is likely Firm Fixed Price. No pricing details are available in the solicitation, preventing total contract value determination. The absence of Section C and Section M prevents full understanding of performance specifications or evaluation criteria beyond compliance-based award assumptions.
