TUBE, METALLIC

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded contract SPE7M226P1873 to OPTIPLEX LLC (CAGE 13WM9) for the procurement of a single metallic tube identified by NSN 4710-01-653-9621, with an initial unit price of $215.00. The contract was issued on March 10, 2026, and modified on July 15, 2026, through a unilateral administrative action under FAR 13.004(C), resulting in the cancellation of the line item due to the contractor’s failure to deliver by the required date of July 8, 2026, thereby reducing the total contract value to zero. No other line items, options, or extensions were included, and no detailed technical specifications, performance requirements, or acceptance criteria were provided beyond the NSN designation. Packaging, marking, and preservation are implicitly governed by MIL-STD-2073 and MIL-STD-129, requiring corrosion protection, proper labeling with the NSN and CAGE code, and barcoding consistent with DoD standards. The place of performance was not explicitly defined, though the contractor is located in Chicago, Illinois, and the administrative office is in Columbus, Ohio, with invoicing and payment details referencing DLA Land and Maritime. No Contracting Officer’s Representative or Contracting Officer’s Technical Representative was designated, and no socioeconomic certifications, size status, or affirmative representations were provided by the awardee beyond the CAGE code. The procurement was made under NAICS code 332996, classified as a federal acquisition with no set-aside, and no evaluation factors, source selection methodology, or special requirements beyond standard FAR compliance were documented. The contract was processed administratively, with no electronic submission system specified and paper-based communication implied.
