Performance is mandated within 78 calendar days after award, with an original delivery requirement of January 25, 2027, and a need ship date of March 10, 2026. The contract was issued under solicitation SPE7MC-26-T-126K, with a NAICS code of 332912, and is subject to multiple Federal Acquisition Regulation clauses requiring strict compliance with packaging, marking, hazardous material handling, and transportation standards.

Hazardous materials must comply with 29 CFR 1910.1200 and require pre-award submission of Safety Data Sheets per Federal Standard No. 313, and radioactive materials exceeding specific activity thresholds must be clearly marked in accordance with MIL-STD-129 and reported to the Contracting Officer. Ocean shipments require the use of U.S.-flag vessels unless a waiver is obtained at least 45 days prior to sailing, with full documentation including bills of lading, and such requirements flow down to subcontracts above the simplified acquisition threshold. Invoices must be submitted exclusively via the WAWF system using approved document types such as invoices, receiving reports, or cost vouchers, and acceptance occurs at destination under FAR 52.246-2. The contractor must also comply with employment and human trafficking prevention clauses, sustainable products standards, employment eligibility verification, and prohibitions against Class I ozone-depleting chemicals.
