The Defense Logistics Agency awarded a delivery order under the indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract SPE7LX24D0021 to RUTA SUPPLIES INC, identified by CAGE code 0NJT4, for the procurement of a check valve with NSN 4820015743676 at a total price of $957.57. The award was issued on July 16, 2026, following solicitation SPE7LX-26-T-0685, and the contract is structured as a sealed bid under FAR Part 14, suggesting a lowest price technically acceptable basis, though the exact evaluation methodology remains unspecified due to the absence of detailed Section M content. The contractor is a certified small disadvantaged and women-owned small business, and the contract includes mandatory flow-down clauses for subcontracts regardless of value, alongside specific representations regarding ocean transportation compliance with 10 U.S.C. § 2643, requiring use of U.S.-flag vessels or formal reporting if foreign-flag vessels are utilized. Delivery is FOB origin from the contractor’s facility in Wharton, New Jersey, with inspection occurring at destination, and final acceptance is the responsibility of the government. Packaging and marking must strictly adhere to MIL-STD-129, ASTM D3951, and DLA’s RP001 packaging standards, with all labels including unit of issue and quantity per unit pack as specified. Invoicing is required via Wide Area WorkFlow, and payment is remitted to the Defense Finance and Accounting Service in Columbus, Ohio. The contract includes deviation versions of key clauses related to veteran employment reports and sustainable products, and all attachments referenced in Section J, including the offer, statement of work, pricing sheets, and amendments, are integral to performance but were not accessible for review. Although the base contract has a potential ceiling of $221 million as part of the JLTVCI program, this specific order represents a single item delivery under the broader IDIQ framework with no defined option periods or maximum obligation specified for this awardee.
