WIRE, BONE

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded a fixed-price contract to ZIMMER US INC (CAGE 53MR3) for the supply of WIRE, BONE (NSN 6515014665205), with a total contract value of $171.55, awarded on July 15, 2026, under solicitation SPE2DS-26-T-086P. The item is to be delivered in one package, with delivery required within 20 days of order issuance, and no later than May 21, 2026, to the primary destination APO AE 09094-3219 US, with alternative delivery possible to Ramstein, Germany. The contract specifies FOB DESTINATION terms, meaning the contractor assumes all costs and risks until delivery. Packaging and marking must comply strictly with MIL-STD-2073-1E for preservation and packaging, and Medical Marking Standard No. 1 (MMS NO. 1) for labeling, which supersedes MIL-STD-129 for medical items; however, MIL-STD-129 remains applicable for radioactive materials and barcoding requirements, which mandate Data Matrix or linear bar codes for traceability. The contract is subject to numerous Federal Acquisition Regulation and Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement clauses, including requirements for employment eligibility verification, combating human trafficking, sustainable products, cyber incident reporting, safeguarding covered defense information under NIST SP 800-171, and prohibitions on hexavalent chromium, Communist Chinese military company items, and covered defense telecommunications equipment. Electronic invoicing via Wide Area WorkFlow is mandatory, and compliance with payment and reporting instructions is enforced through DFARS clauses. The contractor must represent its small business status and provide Unique Entity Identifier information where applicable, with socioeconomic considerations potentially influencing award under HUBZone, 8(a), SDVOSB, or WOSB preferences. Inspection and acceptance occur at the destination under FAR 52.246-2, with the government responsible for final evaluation. No specific contract type is designated, and pricing details beyond the total amount are not disclosed in the solicitation, though payment office and accounting data will be provided upon award. The contract allows for automated award without first article testing, and technical compliance is evaluated against referenced DLA master lists rather than narrative proposals submitted via DIBBS using Standard Form 18.
