31--BEARING, BALL, ANNUALAR

The contract SPE4A626PB906, awarded by the Defense Logistics Agency to MECHATRONICS, INC with CAGE code 5V122, is a small business set-aside valued at $514,954.44 for the supply of a ball annular bearing identified by NSN 3110010944412. The award was made on July 21, 2026, under solicitation SPE4A6-25-T-19C3, with performance to occur at the contractor’s facility in Preston, Washington. The contract is structured as a single-line item award with no specified unit pricing, quantities, or option periods, and the place of delivery aligns with the contractor’s location within the United States. The contracting office is DLA Aviation, ASC Supplier Operations OEM Division, with administrative oversight managed by DCMA Seattle and primary contract administration handled by Contracting Officer Dean Allen, while Carl Allen serves as the designated point of contact for inquiries. No detailed delivery schedule, FOB terms, packaging requirements, preservation methods, or inspection specifications are outlined beyond the NSN and contract number identifiers. The contract incorporates FAR 52.222-90, addressing discrimination in Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion practices, implemented under DoD Class Deviation 2026-00040 Revision 1 and aligned with Executive Order 14398 and OMB Memorandum M-25-26. This clause imposes binding obligations on the contractor to ensure non-discrimination in employment and subcontracting practices, to flow down the requirement to all tiers of subcontractors, and to report any known violations or legal challenges initiated by subcontractors. Compliance with this provision constitutes the singular special contractual requirement and the only federally mandated clause explicitly applied. No other clauses, certifications, evaluation factors, or technical standards are referenced; no security clearance, key personnel, or OCI provisions are included. Accounting data, invoicing methods, and payment remittance details are unspecified, and no attachments or inspection criteria beyond administrative compliance are documented. The award was likely made under a lowest price technically acceptable rationale, though this is not formally stated; the contract does not include performance metrics, quality assurance parameters, or technical specifications for the bearing beyond its NSN. The entire agreement is administratively constrained to ensure compliance with federal DEI directives while relying on the NSN to define the technical deliverable.
