VALVE, CHECK

The U.S. Defense Logistics Agency awarded a delivery order under contract SPE7LX-21-D-0007 to CUMMINS INC, identified by CAGE code 04MP1, for the procurement of three check valves (NSN 4820013835527) at a total price of $296.34, with delivery due on August 17, 2026, to Fort Campbell, Kentucky. This order is part of a larger 10-year requirements contract initially issued in 2020, with four optional two-year extension periods, and is governed by the Federal Acquisition Regulation and Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement. The contract specifies FOB Destination terms, requiring full compliance with traceable shipping methods excluding parcel post, and mandates detailed labeling including the Traceable Control Number, Receiving Data Date, Transport Protocol, Supplier Address, and manufacturer CAGE code. Inspection and acceptance are the responsibility of the government, conducted at the delivery location by DLA Land and Maritime and DCMA Huntsville, with conformance to specifications confirmed by a formal acceptance statement. The contractor is certified as a Small Business and subject to Defense Priorities and Allocations System (DPAS) prioritization, requiring adherence to 15 CFR Part 700 for performance scheduling. Invoicing must be submitted through the Wide Area Workflow system in accordance with DFARS clause 252.232-7006, with payments remitted to the Defense Finance and Accounting Service in Columbus, Ohio. The contract incorporates multiple mandatory clauses including accelerated payments to small business subcontractors, prohibition on covered telecommunications equipment, and cybersecurity incident reporting requirements, all applied in their standard form without modification. Although the overarching contract value is estimated between nearly $50 million and $248 million over its full term, this specific delivery order is a minimal, singular-line-item action. All performance is further governed by referenced enclosures such as the Bilateral Agreement, Awarded NSNs & Prices, Subcontracting Plan, and Small Business Participation Commitment Document, which are incorporated by reference and binding. Bar-coding is not explicitly mandated but compatibility with automated tracking systems is implied through the required labeling conventions. The award was made under a Request for Proposal process, with evaluation factors not detailed in the publicly available documentation, but the underlying contract structure indicates it is a commercial item acquisition executed under Firm-Fixed-Price terms.
