VALVE, SOLENOID

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded a firm fixed-price contract to Augusta Engine Parts, Inc. (CAGE 1JQZ6), a small business certified as a Women-Owned Small Business, for the procurement of 13 units of a solenoid valve (NSN 4810-12-365-7170) at a total contract value of $18,174.00. The contract, issued under solicitation SPE7MC-26-T-7602 and awarded on July 15, 2026, is administered by DLA Land and Maritime, Maritime Hardware/Electrical, with payment processed through the Wide Area WorkFlow system to the designated remittance address in Columbus, Ohio. Delivery is required by December 2, 2026, under FOB origin terms, with the goods shipped to the DLA Distribution facility in New Cumberland, Pennsylvania, where government personnel will conduct final inspection and acceptance. The contract mandates strict adherence to military packaging and marking standards, including MIL-STD-2073-1E for preservation using corrosion-inhibiting paper and jute cord, and MIL-STD-129 for labeling with barcoding compliance, supplemented by DLA procurement notes and RP001 guidelines. The contractor is required to comply with multiple federal and defense acquisition regulations, including FAR 52.222-37 on veteran employment reporting, FAR 52.223-23 on sustainable products, and FAR 52.204-27 prohibiting the use of ByteDance-owned applications such as TikTok on any information systems used in contract performance. Electronic invoicing via WAWF is mandatory, with no paper submissions permitted, and payment is tied to successful submission of receiving reports and invoices through the system. The contractor’s small business and women-owned status trigger specific SBA reporting obligations, and subcontracting rules under DFARS 252.244-7999 apply if any commercial products or services are sourced externally. The contract contains no options or quantity variances, and while the technical specifications for the valve are referenced through DLA’s Master List of Requirements, the core deliverable is the timely, compliant delivery of 13 properly packaged and marked units under a simplified acquisition procedure. No contracting officer’s representative is identified, and administrative oversight rests with DLA personnel in Ohio and Pennsylvania.
