BEARING, BALL, AIRFRA

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded contract SPE4A626V6494 on July 21, 2026, to RBC Aircraft Products, Inc. (CAGE 3NPS1) for the delivery of a single ball bearing (NSN 3110014653300) at a total price of $47,545.50. The solicitation, SPE4A6-26-T-349T, was processed under simplified acquisition procedures, with performance expected at the contractor’s location in Torrington, Connecticut, and administration handled by the DCMA Northeast office at Hanscom Air Force Base, Massachusetts. The contract incorporates the non-standard FAR clause 52.222-90, modified by DoD Class Deviation 2026-00040, Revision 1, which prohibits contractors from engaging in race-based discrimination in workforce programs related to diversity, equity, and inclusion, and requires full compliance, record retention, reporting of subcontractor violations, and flowdown of the clause to all subcontracts within the United States. Compliance with this clause is deemed material to payment eligibility, and failure to adhere may result in contract termination or suspension. No detailed technical specifications, packaging requirements, inspection criteria, or delivery schedules beyond the item description are provided, and no payment office, invoicing method, or accounting data are specified. The contractor is not identified as a small or socioeconomic category business, and no unique entity identifier is listed. The award appears to have been based on price given the low value and commercial nature of the item, though the formal evaluation method is not stated. The contract includes no options, subcontracts beyond the flowdown requirement, or additional special requirements beyond the DEI clause, and all administrative details are limited to the core transaction and compliance obligations under federal procurement rules.
