TUBE ASSEMBLY, METAL

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded a Firm Fixed Price contract to HYSTER-YALE GROUP, INC. (CAGE 04627), a small business certified as both a Small Disadvantaged Business and a Woman-Owned Small Business, for the purchase of one line item: TUBE ASSEMBLY, METAL (NSN 4710-01-387-4013), at a total contract value of $1,257.27. The award, issued under solicitation SPE7M4-26-T-2592 and effective July 20, 2026, is structured as a delivery order under a prior acquisition vehicle and requires single shipment delivery to the DLA New Cumberland Facility in Pennsylvania by December 2, 2026, with FOB Origin terms and government-paid freight. Inspection and acceptance will occur at the destination, conducted by the Government in accordance with MIL-STD-129 for marking and labeling, ASTM D3951 for packaging, and the DLA Master List of Technical and Quality Requirements (RA001), which supersedes any conflicting commercial standards. The contract mandates full compliance with electronic invoicing through Wide Area WorkFlow, with payments processed by the Defense Finance and Accounting Service in Columbus, Ohio. Contractors must adhere to counterfeit parts detection and origin tracing requirements, sustainable product sourcing guidelines, and veterans’ employment reporting under authorized deviations. Subcontracting for commercial products or services is governed by a deviation allowing flexibility, and DPAS priority rating requirements apply, necessitating adherence to defense production scheduling and reporting obligations. All contract performance and compliance obligations are tied to the contractor’s representations regarding business size and socioeconomic status, triggering applicable limitations on subcontracting and participation reporting under FAR clauses 52.219-14 and 52.219-15. No formal statement of work, special requirements section, or attached documents beyond regulatory references were included, and the award was likely made on a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable basis given the simplicity of the procurement.
