TUBE, BENT, METALLIC

Oshkosh Defense LLC has been awarded a Firm Fixed Price, Indefinite Quantity Contract under the base contract SPE7LX24D0096 for the supply of metallic bent tubes identified by NSN 4710011525799, with the first delivery order valued at $3,087.60 and issued under solicitation SPE7LX26FB97M. The contract, effective September 30, 2024 and valid through September 29, 2027 with potential extension to 2029, operates under an unrestricted, commercial item framework governed by FAR 52.212-4 and FAR 52.212-5, requiring the contractor to provide truthful cost or pricing data. The contract includes unique requirements tied to the contractor’s 8(a) small business status, mandating a subcontracting plan and compliance with the Defense Priority and Allocation System (DPAS) for individual delivery orders, though the base contract itself is not DPAS rated. Delivery obligations are defined by Time Definite Delivery standards, with lead times ranging from 1 to 11 days depending on commodity category and FOB terms, which are consistently FOB Origin with government-arranged transportation unless otherwise specified per delivery order. Inspection and acceptance protocols vary by NSN, with inspections conducted either at origin by DCMA Chicago or at destination, as determined by the Place of Inspection Code. Packaging, preservation, marking, labeling, and bar-coding requirements are not detailed in the contract itself but are referenced in the Product Item Description attachment. Payment administration is handled by Defense Finance and Accounting Service in Columbus, Ohio, with net 30-day terms, and electronic invoicing is presumed. The contractor must comply with all representations certified at award, including accurate size status and submission of surge eCAP documentation, with non-compliance exposing the firm to False Claims Act liability. The contract's total potential value is capped at $172,804,595.18, encompassing all option years and delivery orders, with no individual purchase limits other than those defined in each specific delivery order.
