VALVE ASSY

The contract, awarded to PAR DEFENSE INDUSTRIES, LLC (CAGE 7DWH2) under solicitation SPE7M1-26-T-109V, is for the delivery of five Valve Assemblies (NSN 4820011817761) with a required delivery date of May 21, 2026, and performance to be completed within five days after award. The contract is administered by the Defense Logistics Agency’s Maritime Supply Chain, with payment processed exclusively through Wide Area WorkFlow (WAWF) using electronic submission of invoices and receiving reports. Pricing details are not fully disclosed in the available documentation, though historical unit prices for the item range from $639.93 to $691.01. The delivery is FOB Origin, requiring offerors to price transportation to a destination within the contiguous United States, while the final consignee and delivery location will be specified in the resulting award. Packaging, marking, and labeling must conform to MIL-STD-129 and DLA’s RP001 packaging requirements, overriding ASTM D3951 where applicable, and all hazardous materials must be labeled in compliance with OSHA’s Hazard Communication Standard and DFARS clause 252.223-7001. Ocean shipments must use U.S.-flag vessels unless a waiver is secured 45 days in advance. Inspection and acceptance occur at the destination under FAR 52.246-2, with the government assuming full responsibility for quality verification. The contract incorporates numerous DFARS and FAR clauses addressing cybersecurity, including safeguarding covered defense information and cyber incident reporting, prohibition on acquiring covered telecommunications equipment, whistleblower protections, electronic payment compliance, and subcontracting restrictions. Additional requirements include adherence to NIST SP 800-171 assessment standards, compliance with the Supplier Performance Risk System, and restrictions on mandatory arbitration agreements. The contract type is not explicitly stated but is likely fixed-price given the applicable clauses. The awardee must maintain an active UEI and CAGE code, represent its size and socioeconomic status accurately, and comply with all federal procurement regulations. No attachments or detailed evaluation factors are provided, suggesting a simplified acquisition process likely based on lowest-priced technically acceptable criteria.
