The contract solicitation SPE7MC-26-T-134M issued by DLA Dist San Joaquin seeks the delivery of 21 units of a 4-inch bronze flanged Y valve rated for 250 psi WOG with a handwheel, identified by NSN 4820-01-407-0656, along with a required First Article Test. The item is subject to stringent packaging and marking standards, including MIL-STD-2073-1E for packaging and MIL-STD-129 for labeling and barcoding, with specific preservation methods, cushioning, and unit container requirements. Delivery must occur at FOB origin with performance ending 508 days after order placement, and the final destination is the DLA facility in Tracy, CA. Technical data associated with this item is subject to export controls under ITAR or EAR, restricting disclosure to foreign persons and requiring contractors to hold JCP certification, complete DLA export control training, and receive approval to access such data. Compliance with hazardous materials handling is mandatory per OSHA’s Hazard Communication Standard, requiring submission of Safety Data Sheets and adherence to labeling and disclosure protocols, with additional requirements for radioactivity thresholds and hydrostatic test certification. The contract incorporates numerous FAR and DFARS clauses governing employment practices, anti-trafficking, employment eligibility verification, sustainable products, cybersecurity through NIST SP 800-171 assessments, subcontracting for commercial items, whistleblower protections, and electronic invoicing via WAWF, which is required for all payment submissions. Contractual compliance includes adherence to zero-nonconformance inspection criteria at origin under MIL-STD-1916 and ASQ standards, with the Government performing final acceptance at the contractor’s site. Offerors must provide a current Unique Entity ID and CAGE code and affirmatively represent their small business status and socioeconomic certifications, such as WOSB, SDVOSB, or HUBZone, though no actual representations are completed in the solicitation. The contract type remains unspecified and will be determined by the Contracting Officer. Proposals must be electronically submitted via DIBBS by July 24, 2026, and no pricing information is provided in Section B, indicating that cost evaluation criteria and estimated contract value are not yet established. The absence of Section M evaluation factors and Section J attachments suggests that award decisions are contingent upon additional documentation not included in this solicitation package.
