WASHER, RECESSED

Defense Logistics Agency award SPE4A625F6579 was issued to Wesco Aircraft Hardware Corp for the procurement of recessed washers under the broader indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity contract SPE4A622D5608. The base contract, signed on April 28, 2022, established a firm-fixed-price ceiling of 249,999.99 dollars for aircraft hardware supplies, with a base period of one year and four subsequent options. Performance requirements included delivery within 23 days after receipt of order, with inspection and acceptance occurring at the destination. The contract mandated strict adherence to military standards for packaging and marking, specifically MIL-STD-129 and MIL-STD-130N, and required the use of the Wide Area Workflow system for all invoicing and payment requests. Despite the initial award, bilateral modification P00001 was issued on February 4, 2025, to cancel contract SPE4A625F6579 in its entirety. This cancellation was prompted by a drastic increase in the cost of the parts, leading to the deletion and de-obligation of CLIN 00001 and reducing the contract amount by 726.70 dollars to zero. Under this modification, the contractor waived all charges and released the government from further obligations. The overall administrative framework for the engagement included standard FAR and DFARS clauses covering cybersecurity, human rights, and the prohibition of certain telecommunications equipment.
