53--BOLT,EXPANDING

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded Contract SPE4A626P9506 to TRIMAN INDUSTRIES INC, with a CAGE code of 0ZBE8, for the procurement of an expanding bolt identified by NSN 5306015249427, at a total contract value of $284,746.56. The award was issued on July 17, 2026, under solicitation SPE4A6-25-T-07RH, with a modification P00001 effective December 15, 2025, that introduced the binding clause FAR 52.222-90, Addressing DEI Discrimination by Federal Contractors, under Deviation 2026-00040, Revision 1. This clause, implemented through authority under FAR 43.203(b), prohibits race- or ethnicity-based disparate treatment in employment and contracting activities and mandates that the contractor report any violations by subcontractors, notify the Government of legal challenges to the clause, and provide full access to records for compliance verification. The clause must be flowed down to all domestic subcontracts, and noncompliance may result in contract termination or enforcement actions. The contract is performed at the contractor’s facility in Morristown, New Jersey, with no specified delivery schedule, FOB terms, or detailed inspection criteria provided; performance is tied to the delivery of the specified bolt under a likely firm-fixed-price structure consistent with simplified acquisition procedures for a commercial item. The Defense Logistics Agency’s Aviation, ASC Commodities Division in Richmond, Virginia, serves as the contracting office, with Dean Allen listed as the Contracting Officer, though no COTR or COR is named. No explicit accounting codes, invoicing methods, packaging specifications, or MIL-STD requirements are included, and no evaluation factors, weights, or basis of award are documented. The contractor’s representation of its CAGE code is confirmed, but no socioeconomic certifications or size status are stated. The contract includes no option periods, extensions, or additional line items, and delivery is expected to be direct from the contractor’s facility, with no external attachments or detailed technical specifications referenced in the documentation.
