The contract solicitation SPE7M1-26-T-033W seeks one unit of a valve, expansion, identified by NSN 4820-01-683-1144, with delivery required within five days of order placement. The item is destined for military installations, including the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower, under FOB Origin terms, meaning risk transfers to the government upon loading at the contractor’s facility. Inspection and formal acceptance occur exclusively at the final delivery point, in accordance with government oversight. Technical and quality requirements are governed by the DLA Master List of Technical and Quality Requirements, referenced by R or I numbers, and must be fully addressed in the proposal. Packaging and marking must strictly comply with MIL-STD-2073-1E and MIL-STD-129, including standardized container types, preservation methods in a controlled dry environment, and prohibition of mercury compounds. Palletization and shipment must adhere to DLA Packaging Requirements (RP001), with parcel post explicitly banned; only traceable freight methods are permitted. The solicitation is issued under the Automated Simplified Acquisitions process, requiring electronic submission via the DIBBS portal by May 18, 2026, and is governed by multiple FAR and DFARS clauses applicable to defense procurements. Key clauses include cybersecurity safeguards under DFARS 252.204-7012, hazardous materials disclosure per 52.223-3 and 252.223-7001, sustainable procurement expectations, and compliance with NIST SP 800-171, with assessment scores categorized as Basic, Medium, or High. Offerors must verify their small business status, provide a complete data package for any alternate part, and submit Material Safety Data Sheets for hazardous materials. Payment will be processed exclusively through WAWF, with no other invoicing methods authorized. Contract type, pricing, and specific award basis are not specified in the solicitation, suggesting a potential LPTA approach where compliance drives selection. All required representations, including UEI, CAGE code, and potential disclosures regarding covered defense telecommunications equipment, must be accurately completed. The absence of unit pricing and total contract value indicates this may be a placeholder or pre-award document, with final values to be determined upon award.
