BEARING, BALL, ANNULAR

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded a firm fixed-price contract valued at $17,790.00 to INTERCONTINENTAL BEARING SUPPLY COMPANY, INC. (CAGE 1X797) for the supply of a single line item: BEARING, BALL, ANNULAR, identified by NSN 3110005543911. The award was issued on July 21, 2026, under solicitation SPE4A6-25-T-77V0 and contract modification SPE4A626PH853/P00001, with the placing of performance implied at the contractor’s location in Cypress, Texas. The contract is classified under NAICS code 332991 and is administered by DLA Aviation, ASC Commodities Division, with Dean Allen serving as the Contracting Officer. The award reflects a low-dollar single-item procurement consistent with a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable approach, though the official basis of award is not explicitly documented. No technical specifications, military standards, or detailed inspection criteria are provided in the available records, and the item is referenced solely by its National Stock Number. Packaging, preservation, and marking requirements were not specified, and no MIL-STDs or labeling formats were cited, suggesting reliance on standard federal commodity handling practices. A critical and unique requirement of the contract is the inclusion of FAR clause 52.222-90, "Addressing DEI Discrimination by Federal Contractors," incorporated under Department of Defense Class Deviation 2026-00040, Revision 1. This clause imposes mandatory reporting obligations on the contractor, including the duty to disclose subcontractor violations, notify the Contracting Officer if a subcontractor challenges the clause legally, and ensure compliance across all subcontracts—except those performed entirely outside the United States. Failure to comply is deemed a material breach affecting payment entitlement under 31 U.S.C. 3729(b)(4). No socioeconomic certifications, size status, key personnel, security clearance, or option provisions were indicated in the documentation. Payment details, invoicing method, and accounting data were not explicitly provided, though electronic systems such as WAWF are assumed based on standard DoD practices. The contractor is required to furnish all records and access upon request by the Contracting Officer, and while no COTR or COR was named, oversight is managed by DCMA SOUTH. No
