(CAGE 56833), a small business, for the procurement of 20 Wheel Sets, Transport (NSN 1730-01-480-6482) under a Firm Fixed Price arrangement totaling $127,620.00, with delivery mandated for November 13, 2026. The contract was issued via solicitation SPE8EF-26-T-0580, with the place of performance set at the DLA Distribution San Joaquin warehouse in Tracy, California, and title transfer occurring at the contractor’s origin under FOB Origin terms where the Government assumes responsibility for transportation and associated costs. Compliance with stringent packaging, marking, and identification standards is required, including adherence to ASTM D3951 for packaging, MIL-STD-129 for labeling, and MIL-STD-130 for Item Unique Identification (IUID) with mandatory barcoding for DoD traceability. The DLA Master List of Technical and Quality Requirements supersedes all other standards, including ASTM D3951, and governs all quality, preservation, and specification compliance. Inspection and acceptance occur at the destination, performed by the Government, with Defense Contract Management Agency involvement through the Shipping Instruction Request process. Payment must be submitted electronically through Wide Area WorkFlow using an Invoice and Receiving Report, and the contracting officer’s representative and payment office details are referenced via DoDAACs not explicitly listed. The contract includes mandatory clauses requiring annual VETS-4212 veteran employment reporting, adherence to DEI non-discrimination policies, sustainable product sourcing, and prohibitions against Kaspersky Lab products. Additive manufacturing is prohibited unless explicitly authorized, and no quantity flexibility is permitted. No attachments, special requirements, or evaluation factors beyond technical compliance and pricing were explicitly defined, and while socioeconomic status as a small business is confirmed, no other certifications such as WOSB or SDVOSB are indicated. The award reflects a straightforward fixed-price delivery with full compliance obligations tied to defense logistics standards and electronic reporting systems.
