The contract specifies the procurement of a turbine wheel for aircraft cooling, identified by part number 785687-3 and NSN 1660-01-350-5442, with a quantity of 11 units required under solicitation SPE4A6-26-T-40E4. Delivery is due within 300 days from the award date, with FOB origin terms and inspection and acceptance occurring at the destination. The item is designated as a critical application item, and all technical and quality requirements are governed by the DLA Master List of Technical and Quality Requirements, which supersede any conflicting standards such as ASTM D3951. Packaging must comply with MIL-STD-129 and DLA Packaging Requirements, with palletization adhering to RP001 and no government identification to be removed from non-accepted supplies. Sampling must follow MIL-STD-1916 or comparable zero-based plans, with critical attributes subject to the strictest verification levels and zero non-conformances accepted unless otherwise stated. Manufacturers and non-manufacturers are subject to tailored higher-level quality requirements, and configuration change management requires formal engineering change proposals or variance requests. Cybersecurity compliance mandates a CMMC Level 2 self-assessment, and measuring and test equipment must meet specified standards. The item is not required to have unique identification, per DFARS 252.211-7003(c)(1)(i), but physical marking of bare items is mandatory. Deliveries must be shipped to Tinker AFB, Oklahoma, with transport governed by DLAD procedural notes C19 and C20. The original required delivery date is August 17, 2026, though a need ship date of June 15, 2025, reflects an earlier operational urgency, and the contract includes a zero variance tolerance on quantity. Pricing is set at $11.00 per unit for a total value of $121.00, with contract data linked to the DIBBS system and point of contact Katherine Dunigan of the Department of Defense’s ASC Commodities Division.
