ANODE, CORROSION PRE

The contract, awarded to LEIDOS, INC. under solicitation SPE4A7-26-T-7972 and issued as modification P00001 on July 21, 2026, is a sole-source award with a total value of $26,118.00 from the Defense Logistics Agency, specifically through DLA Aviation in Richmond, VA. The contract center on the implementation and compliance with FAR 52.222-90, Addressing DEI Discrimination by Federal Contractors, as modified by DoD Class Deviation 2026-00040, Revision 1, issued in April 2026. This clause prohibits contractors from engaging in race-based DEI activities and mandates that LEIDOS adhere to its requirements across all levels of its subcontracting chain, including flow-down obligations, reporting of known violations by subcontractors, and providing audit access upon request. The contract does not specify any physical deliverables, technical specifications, or performance milestones beyond these administrative and compliance obligations; the sole referenced item is an anode for corrosion prevention with NSN 5342014988270, but no quantities, delivery schedules, FOB terms, or inspection criteria are outlined in the documentation. The award was not based on a documented evaluation factor structure, nor is the source selection methodology—such as LPTA or trade-off—stated. The place of performance and delivery are not explicitly defined, though the contractor’s address in Reston, VA and the administering office in Orlando, FL are noted. No packaging, marking, invoicing systems, accounting data, or payment office details are provided, and no attachments, evaluation factors, or representation certifications beyond the DEI clause are included. The Contracting Officer, Dean Allen, retains authority to enforce compliance under FAR 43.203(b), while no Contracting Officer’s Representative or technical contact is identified. The contract is administratively structured as a change order modifying an existing agreement, with no options, estimated quantities, or extended performance periods specified.
