This firm-fixed price purchase order includes a one-year option for an additional 35 units at the same unit price.

The solicitation closes on March 24, 2026 at 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time, with proposals to be submitted via email to Patricia Roussin at PATRICIA.ROUSSIN@DLA.MIL.

This procurement includes no set-aside designation, despite the reference to small business considerations in the contract documentation. The basic contract quantity of 35 units must be delivered within 120 days after award to DLA Distribution Red River in Texarkana, Texas on an FOB Destination basis. Contractors are required to comply with specific military packaging standards (MIL-STD-2073-1 with Level B packing per Special Packaging Instruction AK17183284), supply chain traceability documentation, unique item identification protocols, and various federal compliance requirements including Buy American provisions and labor standards. The contract includes provisions for possible reverse auction pricing, which would require contractor registration and completion of online reverse auction training if the Contracting Officer determines that a reverse auction will be held. Inspection and acceptance will occur at the contractor's origin facility, with government inspection required before shipment.
