31--BEARING, ROLLER, AIRFRAME

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded R & M GOVERNMENT SERVICES INC, with CAGE code 6FN58 located in Las Cruces, NM, a contract valued at $70,153.05 for the supply of one airframe roller bearing identified by NSN 3110005803292 under solicitation SPE4A6-26-T-5668. The contract was awarded on July 17, 2026, and is administered by the DLA Aviation, ASC Commodities Division in Richmond, VA, with Dean Allen serving as the Contracting Officer. The sole line item specifies a single unit deliverable with no option quantities or extended performance periods referenced. While the contract does not detail technical specifications, performance metrics, or inspection criteria for the bearing, compliance with federal acquisition regulations is assumed through the use of the NSN and CAGE code, implying adherence to standard defense logistics practices including MIL-STD-129R for labeling and likely MIL-STD-2073 for preservation, even though not explicitly cited. Packaging and marking requirements are not fully detailed beyond mandatory identifiers such as NSN, CAGE, contract number, and modification P00001. The contract includes the unique and significant clause FAR 52.222-90, Addressing DEI Discrimination by Federal Contractors, implemented under DoD Class Deviation 2026-00040, Revision 1, making DEI compliance a material condition of payment. The contractor is mandated to prohibit racially discriminatory DEI practices in hiring, employment, and subcontracting, report any known violations by subcontractors, notify the Contracting Officer if any subcontractor challenges the clause legally, and flow the clause down to all applicable subcontracts, excluding those performed entirely outside the U.S. Noncompliance may lead to contract cancellation or termination. No subcontractor socioeconomic certifications, security clearance requirements, key personnel assignments, or contract options are identified. The place of performance is confirmed as Las Cruces, NM, with no FOB terms or payment office details specified, though invoicing is likely processed through WAWF given standard DLA practices. The evaluation basis for award, size status of the small business, and detailed inspection or acceptance procedures are not disclosed in the documentation, leaving the scope of performance and compliance obligations centered exclusively on delivery of the specified bearing and adherence to the DEI-related contractual requirements.
