WASHER, LOCK

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded a firm-fixed-price contract to DIXIE AIR PARTS SUPPLY, INC. (CAGE 2B816) for the procurement of a single item: one lock washer (NSN 5310-01-126-8693) at a total price of $730.00, with award issued on July 20, 2026 under solicitation SPE4A6-26-T-739J. The item must be new, unused former government surplus property, conforming to original manufacturing specifications for form, fit, and function, and is subject to stringent packaging and marking requirements mandated by MIL-STD-2073-1E and MIL-STD-129, including the use of cleaning and drying preservation method 33 (CLNG/DRY) and the prohibition of mercury or mercury compounds in packaging. Delivery is to be made FOB origin with government-paid freight to the DLA Distribution San Joaquin facility in Tracy, California, with inspection and acceptance occurring at the destination. The contract includes a full suite of standard FAR and DFARS clauses governing termination for convenience, default, prompt payment, cybersecurity, whistleblower rights, labor standards including minimum wage and paid sick leave, procurement restrictions on foreign-sourced magnets and tungsten, and prohibitions on products from Kaspersky Lab and ByteDance, as well as compliance with the Federal Acquisition Supply Chain Security Act. The contractor is required to submit electronic payment requests and receiving reports via WAWF and must provide documentation proving prior government ownership of the surplus item, with attachments referencing surplus certification and quote documents. While no formal evaluation factors or award basis are explicitly stated, the nature of the procurement along with heavy emphasis on compliance and documentation suggests a lowest price technically acceptable approach. The contract is DPAS rated, granting priority processing for resources and materials, and incorporates all applicable clauses related to sustainability, environmental compliance, and supply chain integrity, with no options or additional line items beyond the single unit.
