Each unit must be packaged commercially in sealed, damage-protective containers, with outer shipping containers compliant with commercial standards to ensure safe, low-cost delivery to the designated destination in APO, 09227-0000. The unit of issue is a package containing ten valves, and all items must have a shelf life of 36 months, with no more than four months allowed to pass between manufacturing and delivery to the government. Labeling must strictly comply with Medical Marking Standard No. 1, superseding MIL-STD-129, and must include the NSN, manufacturer name and CAGE code, date of manufacture, expiration or retest date, and contract or lot number. Packaging codes U and ZZ are applied for commercial packaging and non-standard preservation methods, with no mandated environmental controls beyond shelf life conditions. The contract mandates full compliance with federal acquisition regulations, including safeguarding controlled unclassified information per NIST SP 800-171 and DFARS clauses for cyber incident reporting, prohibited telecommunications equipment, and whistleblower protections. All payment requests must be submitted electronically through Wide Area WorkFlow (WAWF), and the contract type is set as firm fixed price. Inspection and acceptance occur at the destination, and the government retains authority to reject nonconforming items based on technical, packaging, or labeling deficiencies.

The procurement is governed under simplified acquisition procedures with a solicitation issued on May 13, 2026, and responses due by May 19, 2026, with delivery required 84 days after order placement.
