TUBE ASSEMBLY, METAL

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded contract SPE7M425P4658 to TROY TUBE & MANUFACTURING CO with CAGE code 3R148 for the procurement of a metal tube assembly identified by NSN 4710-01-113-2031, with three line items totaling an initial estimated value of $12,505.50 at a fixed unit price of $198.50 per unit. The contract was issued under simplified acquisition procedures and structured as a firm fixed price arrangement, with delivery expected by October 22, 2025. However, prior to any performance or delivery, the contract was unilaterally modified and fully canceled under modification P00001 due to the contractor’s inability to fulfill the requirement, resulting in zero financial liability and no payment obligations. The cancellation was executed using a post-award request labeled PAR 5487315, which served as the legal basis for terminating the contract without recourse. The contracting officer, Lance Corbin of DLA Land and Maritime’s Fluid Handling Division in Columbus, Ohio, managed the award and subsequent modification. No Contracting Officer’s Representative was designated, and no detailed technical specifications, packaging standards, inspection criteria, or quality assurance protocols were included in the available documentation beyond references to applicable FAR clauses such as 13.004(c) and 43.103(b). The place of performance and FOB terms were not specified, and no formal attachments, evaluation factors, or socioeconomic certifications were documented. Payment instructions direct remittances to a PO Box in Columbus, Ohio, and invoicing procedures were not outlined. The contract contains no options, extensions, or IDIQ structure, and its final value remains at zero due to complete cancellation.
