The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Maritime Puget Sound is soliciting commercial items including French presses, Bluetooth speakers, lunch boxes, tumblers, and backpacks for procurement under simplified acquisition procedures following FAR Parts 12 and 13.5. All items must be manufactured to specified material standards and require customized etching or engraving with "PSNS & IMF PDQ" lettering in Times New Roman font, as well as Item Unique Identification (IUID) marking with data matrix symbology. Contractors must complete pricing for all contract line items, provide CAGE codes and manufacturer information, maintain current SAM.gov registration, and submit signed copies of the original solicitation package with all representations and certifications completed. The solicitation does not specify formal evaluation criteria beyond price competitiveness for a firm fixed-price supply contract with FOB destination terms. The original response deadline of February 10, 2026 was extended by amendment to April 18, 2026 at 11:00 PM, and all questions regarding the solicitation must be submitted via email to naomi.larson@dla.mil.

This procurement is designated as a 100% Small Business Set-Aside (SBSA) with no identified incumbent contractors. The solicitation encompasses 15 line items totaling approximately 2,075 units across the five product categories, with a significant modification to CLIN 0015 increasing the backpack requirement from 250 units of a 55-liter High-Capacity Waterproof Oxford Travel School Backpack to 500 units of Malo'o Drypack 30-Liter Waterproof Backpacks. Delivery is required to the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard Receiving Officer in Bremerton, Washington, with an original deadline of February 27, 2026 that may have been adjusted by the recent amendment. The solicitation specifies commercial packaging in accordance with ASTM-D-3951, mandatory pallet usage for non-small parcel shipments, a 4-7 day inspection level, and electronic invoice submission through Wide Area WorkFlow (WAWF). No specific budget range or award value is disclosed in the available documentation, though the quantity and variety of items suggest a moderately significant procurement.
