WINDOW WASHER ASSEMBLY

The contract solicits a windshield washer assembly with NSN 2540013138038 under an indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) vehicle issued by the Department of Defense’s Strategic Acquisition Program Directorate. The contract has a maximum value of $350,000 and applies a guaranteed minimum quantity of three units, though actual purchases are triggered by individual delivery orders with a delivery window of 81 days after order issuance. FOB origin terms apply, requiring the contractor to assume all transportation costs to a contiguous U.S. destination, and the unit of issue is each (EA), with a specified quantity of 25 units per CLIN, though this is an estimated amount not guaranteed. Packaging and marking are strictly governed by DLA’s Master List of Technical and Quality Requirements, which supersedes all other standards including ASTM D3951 and MIL-STD-129 for labeling, barcoding, and palletization. Non-hazardous items must be commercially packaged in compliance with ASTM D3951, while hazardous materials as defined by FED-STD-313 must meet the more stringent TQ requirement IP025 and comply with OSHA’s Hazard Communication Standard, including submission of hazard labels and safety data sheets prior to award. Radioactive materials exceeding specified thresholds require prior written notification to the contracting officer, including isotopic details and manufacturer information. All shipments must be labeled and marked per MIL-STD-129 with accurate unit of issue and quantity per unit pack data, and hazardous material labels must be reviewed and approved by the contracting officer before contract award. The contractor is required to use the Wide Area WorkFlow system for all invoicing and receiving reports. Inspection and acceptance occur at the destination, and the Government retains sole authority over these functions. The solicitation mandates compliance with a suite of FAR and DFARS clauses, including those governing small business representation, unauthorized obligations, accelerated payments to small subcontractors, safeguarding of contractor information systems, and changes to fixed-price contracts. The offeror must also disclose any provision of covered defense telecommunications equipment or services and provide the required UEI and CAGE codes. The contract is not subject to a specific set-aside and is evaluated based on the most advantageous offer considering both price and other non-price factors, not through a lowest-price technically acceptable approach. Proposals must be submitted electronically by August 7, 2026, via the DIBBS portal, and the
