VALVE, CHECK

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded a fixed-price contract to PAR DEFENSE INDUSTRIES, LLC (CAGE 7DWH2) for the delivery of one check valve (NSN 4820016494978) with a total contract value of $5,258.15, awarded on July 30, 2026, under solicitation SPE7MC-26-T-130D. Performance is required at the DLA Distribution New Cumberland facility in Pennsylvania, with delivery due 168 days after the order date, targeting January 5, 2027, under FOB Destination terms. The contract mandates strict adherence to military packaging and labeling standards including MIL-STD-129 for marking and barcoding, ASTM D3951 for packaging, and RP001 for palletization, with hazardous and radioactive materials subject to specific labeling and notification requirements under 29 CFR 1910.1200 and MIL-STD-129. All shipments must be documented through the Wide Area WorkFlow system using the Invoice and Receiving Report or Invoice 2in1 form, and payment processing is governed by DoDAAC routing codes. The contractor must comply with extensive cybersecurity obligations under 252.204-7012 and 252.240-7997, including NIST SP 800-171 controls for safeguarding covered defense information and reporting cyber incidents. Additional compliance requirements include submitting Safety Data Sheets for hazardous materials, verifying employment eligibility via Form I-9, prohibiting human trafficking across the supply chain, promoting sustainable products, and informing employees of whistleblower protections. Deviations from standard clauses apply to several provisions, including authorization of consent, safeguarding information systems, and subcontracting for commercial products. The contract enforces strict limitations on unauthorized obligations, mandates accurate labeling of radioactive substances exceeding defined thresholds, and requires full traceability of materials through UPI and SSCC barcodes. No contract options, subcontracting thresholds, or detailed cost breakdowns beyond the single-line item are specified, and no named contracting officer, COR, or COTR are identified in the documentation. The award appears to have been made under simplified acquisition procedures, likely driven by price competitiveness with no formal trade-off evaluation method disclosed.
