BACKSHELL, ELECTRICA

The contract awarded to WESTSIM ENGINEERING, INC. (CAGE 7MR60) under solicitation SPE7M5-25-T-358Q and contract number SPE7M525V6061 is a simplified acquisition for two units of the electrical backshell NSN 5935-01-494-8297, with a total value of $595.38. The award was issued on July 14, 2026, by the Defense Logistics Agency through DLA Land and Maritime, Active Devices Division, with payment administered through PO BOX 3990, COLUMBUS, OH 43218-3990. The contract originated on June 25, 2025, and was subsequently modified on the award date via unilateral administrative change P00001 under FAR 13.302(a) and PAR 5472639 to reduce the quantity from twelve to two units, resulting in a price decrease of $2,976.90. The modification did not alter pricing per unit, did not require the contractor’s signature, and incorporated the contractor’s July 14, 2026 email request by reference. The Contracting Officer is Lashawn Fritz, with Marci Johnsen serving as the Local Administrator replacing Taren Hayes. The place of performance is not formally specified, though the contractor is located in Orlando, FL, and acceptance is presumed to occur at the government’s administrative site in Columbus, OH. No packaging, marking, inspection criteria, quality standards, or technical specifications are detailed in the documentation beyond the NSN and PR identifiers. The contract type is inferred as Firm Fixed Price based on fixed-dollar pricing with no options, and no socioeconomic status, size certification, or special requirements such as security clearances or OCI provisions are referenced. Invoicing procedures, accounting data (AAC/TAS/ACRN), FOB terms, and delivery schedules are also not provided. The modification was executed administratively without requiring formal attachments, and no evaluation factors or award rationale are documented, indicating a straightforward quantity adjustment under simplified acquisition procedures.
