WASHER, LOCK

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded Contract SPE4A626V275R to LARKOS PACKING AND DISTRIBUTION INC (CAGE 6PZL1) for the supply of 2,000 units of Lock Washer (NSN 5310015017511) under Solicitation SPE4A6-26-T-07NV, with a total contract value of $63.30 and an award date of July 23, 2026. Delivery is required to Joint Base MDL, New Jersey, with FOB ORIGIN terms, meaning title and risk transfer to the government upon shipment from the contractor’s facility. Performance must be completed within 20 days of order placement. All items must comply strictly with ASTM D3951 for packaging, MIL-STD-129 for marking and labeling—including barcoding, unit of issue, quantity per unit pack, and hazardous material identification—and the DLA Master List of Technical and Quality Requirements (RA001), which supersedes all other standards. Inspection and acceptance occur at the destination by the government using zero-conformance sampling protocols per MIL-STD-1916 or comparable methods, with critical, major, and minor defects governed by specific AQL thresholds. The contractor must submit all invoices electronically via WAWF and adhere to stringent cybersecurity controls, including NIST SP 800-171 compliance and safeguarding of covered contractor information systems. Contractual obligations include compliance with anti-trafficking, employment verification, sustainable products, and hazardous materials handling regulations, along with prohibitions on hexavalent chromium and procurement from Communist Chinese military companies. The contract incorporates multiple FAR and DFARS clauses, including Alternate I and II of the Authorization and Consent clause, the Small Business Program Representation clause with conditional filling, and provisions requiring accelerated payments to small business subcontractors and electronic payment submissions. Though the type of contract is not explicitly stated, the use of fixed-price clauses and simplified acquisition procedures under FAR Part 13 suggests a Firm-Fixed Price arrangement. The solicitation required electronic bidding via DIBBS with a deadline of July 27, 2026, and no physical submissions were accepted. No attachments or formal evaluation factors were provided in the documentation. The contractor’s size status, socioeconomic certifications, and joint venture details were solicited but not disclosed in the award record.
