The U.S. Department of Defense, through the Defense Logistics Agency, awarded a fixed-price contract to GTA CONTAINERS, LLC (CAGE 1YFX5) for the delivery of one VENT UNIT, RELIEF (NSN 4930016801772) under solicitation SPE8EE-26-T-2166, with an award date of July 29, 2026. The contract value is $438.29, and delivery is due at the destination in Twentynine Palms, California, with a 20-day lead time from the required delivery date of July 24, 2026. Pricing is based on FOB Origin terms, and the contractor must comply with Department of Defense shipping and packaging requirements including MIL-STD-129 for labeling and marking, ASTM D3951 for packaging, and RP001 for palletization, with 2D barcode labeling mandated for all shipments.

Electronic invoicing through WAWF is required, with payment processed via the designated DoDAAC information. The contractor must affirm compliance with all representations and certifications, including UEI and CAGE code submission, small business status, and adherence to SAM.gov requirements. The contract incorporates deviation clauses from February 2026 affecting multiple FAR and DFARS provisions, and while no formal evaluation factors or weights are documented, the award appears to follow a Low Price Technically Acceptable approach driven by price and regulatory compliance. No contracting officer’s technical representative is identified, and the point of contact for administrative matters is Philip Ferrara of DLA. Despite the lack of a detailed statement of work, the contract enforces rigorous logistical, safety, and cybersecurity standards applicable to defense supply chain operations.
