BALL, BEARING

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded a firm-fixed-price contract valued at $23,622.50 to GOVPARTS LLC, a Women-Owned Small Business with CAGE code 7YWT4, for the procurement of a single line item: BALL, BEARING (NSN 3110015077958). The award was issued on July 21, 2026, under solicitation SPE4A6-26-T-746X, with the contract modification P00001 effective March 9, 2026, primarily to implement compliance with federal directives on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. The contract is governed by FAR 52.222-90, as modified by Class Deviation 2026-00040, Revision 1, which prohibits discriminatory DEI practices and mandates that contractors report violations by subcontractors, notify the Contracting Officer of legal challenges to the clause, and comply with False Claims Act reporting obligations. The clause flows down to all subcontracts unless performed outside the United States. The place of performance is the contractor’s facility in Fort Wayne, Indiana, with contract administration handled by DCMA Ohio River Valley at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base and oversight by DLA Aviation’s Commodities Division in Richmond, Virginia. No quantities, unit prices, delivery schedules, FOB terms, packaging, preservation, or marking requirements are specified in the available documentation. The Government is responsible for inspection and acceptance, though no technical standards, inspection criteria, or acceptance locations are detailed. The contractor is required to comply with reporting obligations under the DEI clause and maintain compliance with applicable Executive Orders and OMB memoranda. Payment is to be made to the contractor’s remit-to address in Fort Wayne, IN, though no payment office contact or invoicing method is provided. No Contracting Officer’s Technical Representative is designated, and no evaluation factors or basis of award are documented, though the low-value, single-item nature of the acquisition strongly implies an LPTA approach. The contract contains no options, task orders, or extension provisions, and no attachments or MIL-STD references are included. The Unique Entity Identifier is not explicitly provided, and no socioeconomic certifications beyond the WOSB designation are stated.
