This document is Amendment 0001 to solicitation SPRDL1-26-R-0134, issued by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Weapons Support in Warren, Michigan. The primary purpose of this amendment is to correct administrative and technical details for the procurement of wheel and tire assemblies (NSN: 2530-01-732-4248) under a Firm-Fixed-Price contract.

The procurement spans five ordering years (CLINs 0011 through 0015), with an estimated quantity of 225 units per year. The maximum order limit remains at 225 units. Packaging, preservation, and packing must meet military specifications, and inspection and acceptance will take place at the origin. All other terms and conditions of the original solicitation remain unchanged.

This Department of Defense Special Packaging Instruction (SPI AK00000001, Revision D) outlines the mandatory procedures for preserving, packing, marking, and safely handling Tire and Wheel Assemblies (T&WA). Applicable to all new, repaired, and unserviceable Army assemblies, this instruction provides specific guidelines to prevent damage to highly vulnerable areas like the tire bead, valve, and wheel. Key requirements include: - **Inflation and Safety:** Compliance with OSHA standards is mandatory. Inflation must occur inside approved safety cages using remote-inflation kits at a safe distance of at least 10 feet to mitigate blast hazards. Split-ring assemblies must be shipped and stored at a maximum of 40 psi. - **Level B Packing (Palletization):** Requires standard-compliant pallets (ASME MH1) wrapped in approved polyethylene shrink or stretch wrap. To prevent chafing and metal-to-metal contact, fiberboard separators must be placed between stacked assemblies. Pallets may not be stacked unless they utilize a protective frame and cap structure. - **Level A Packing:** Mandates the use of approved wooden or sectional shipping containers lined with fiberboard. - **Air Transport:** Under IATA regulations, pressurized, damaged, or unserviceable assemblies are strictly forbidden on passenger and cargo aircraft. - **Marking:** Load units must be labeled with safety warnings regarding sharp tools, stacking limitations, and split-rim pressure hazards. Additionally, extendible shelf-life markings must comply with MIL-STD-129. This document ensures standardized, safe logistical handling of military vehicle tires.
