VACUUM PUMP, ROTARY

The solicitation SPE7M0-26-T-018Z issued by the Defense Logistics Agency under the Department of Defense seeks three rotary vacuum pumps identified by NSN 4310-01-732-9150, with delivery required at the Carrier Outfitting Material Support Center in Suffolk, Virginia. The contract, posted on July 26, 2026, with a response deadline of August 6, 2026, is governed by comprehensive federal acquisition regulations including FAR and DFARS clauses that mandate strict compliance with packaging, labeling, and safety standards. Packaging must adhere to MIL-STD-2073-1E using CLNG/DRY preservation and jute burlap cushioning, while marking and labeling must follow MIL-STD-129 with exact inclusion of the NSN, contract line item data, and government and contractor identifiers. Hazardous materials require compliance with 29 CFR 1910.1200 and submission of updated Safety Data Sheets prior to award, and no parcel post shipments are permitted—delivery must occur via the fastest traceable means. Inspection and acceptance occur at the destination, with the contractor responsible for ensuring all standards are met prior to shipment. The contract includes a suite of mandatory clauses addressing equal opportunity, employment eligibility, trafficking in persons, sustainable procurement, cybersecurity safeguards, and prohibitions on covered telecommunications equipment and hexavalent chromium. Subcontracting is governed by deviations related to commercial product clauses and NIST SP 800-171 assessment requirements. Invoicing must be processed exclusively through WAWF with electronic payment requests and receiving reports, and the buyer assumes risk at origin under FOB ORIGIN terms, though physical delivery is to a fixed U.S. address. Offerors must affirm their small business status, UEI and CAGE codes, and socioeconomic certifications, with potential preference for HUBZone or other designated entities. Although no pricing data is available, award is expected to be driven by compliance and socioeconomic eligibility rather than a formal scoring methodology, with no option quantities or extended performance periods defined. The absence of a defined Section C or formal evaluation matrix suggests the award will favor fully compliant, small business responses meeting all regulatory and logistical requirements.
