BEARING, ROLLER, NEEDLE

The contract awarded to Jamaica Bearings Co., Inc. under contract number SPE4A626PE891 for $32,998.00 on July 21, 2026, pertains to the supply of a single line item: a Roller, Needle Bearing identified by NSN 3110002273245. The solicitation, SPE4A6-25-T-41D2, was administered by the Defense Logistics Agency’s Aviation, ASC Commodities Division based in Richmond, VA, with Dean Allen serving as the contracting officer, reachable via email at [email hidden]. The contract is governed by FAR 52.222-90, “Addressing DEI Discrimination by Federal Contractors,” modified under Department of Defense Class Deviation 2026-00040, Revision 1, effective April 2026, which mandates strict compliance with federal prohibitions on racially discriminatory DEI practices in employment and subcontracting, requires reporting of any subcontractor violations, and obligates the contractor to grant the government access to records for audit purposes. This clause must be flowed down to all subcontractors unless they perform exclusively outside the United States. The contract does not specify quantities, delivery schedules, shipping terms, or inspection locations, and no packaging, marking, or military standard requirements (e.g., MIL-STD-129 or MIL-STD-2073) are detailed in the documented provisions. No formal list of attachments, evaluation factors, or socioeconomic certifications are present, and while the CAGE code 04836 is confirmed, the Unique Entity ID is not provided. Payment details, accounting data (AAC, TAS, ACRN), invoicing systems (WAWF, IPP), and the identity of a COR or COTR are not specified, and the contract type remains unnamed. The place of performance is unclear, with the contractor’s address listed in New Hyde Park, NY, and the administering office in Hanscom AFB, MA, but no official delivery location is designated. The award appears to be based on price with no disclosed technical evaluation criteria, though the absence of competition details or weighting factors prevents confirmation of whether it followed a Low Price Technically Acceptable methodology. Compliance is enforced through contractual provisions, and failure to meet the DEI clause requirements could result in termination or financial remedies.
