BOLT, SHEAR

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded contract SPE4A626V6043 to DON INDUSTRIAL GROUP LLC (CAGE 745V4) on July 21, 2026, for the supply of a BOLT, SHEAR with NSN 5306011922219 at a total value of $20,445.00. The procurement originated under solicitation SPE4A6-25-T-45NL, with performance taking place at the contractor’s location in Houston, TX. The contract is administered by DLA Aviation, ASC Commodities Division in Richmond, VA, with Contracting Officer Dean Allen (CARL.ALLEN@DLA.MIL) overseeing execution. Despite the modest dollar value, the contract incorporates the stringent FAR 52.222-90 clause, which prohibits racially discriminatory Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion practices and mandates that the contractor implement non-discriminatory employment policies, report known violations by itself or its subcontractors within ten business days, and flow down these obligations to all tiers of subcontracting. Compliance with this clause is tied to potential contract termination or payment suspension for nonconformance. The NAICS code 332722 (Machine Shops) applies, but no socioeconomic category or small business status is indicated. No detailed delivery schedule, FOB terms, or quantity data is provided, and while the NSN and CAGE are confirmed, explicit packaging, marking, or preservation standards are not stated—though adherence to standard military practices such as MIL-STD-129 is presumed. Payment and invoicing methods are not specified, and no COR/COTR is named. The contract modification was issued on December 31, 2025, with award finalized on July 21, 2026, under a modification designated P00001. No options, quality inspection standards, or special security or personnel requirements are documented, and the award rationale, whether based on lowest price or other criteria, remains undisclosed. The contractor must also comply with reporting obligations under 31 U.S.C. § 3729(b)(4) regarding false claims and notify the Contracting Officer if a subcontractor challenges the validity of the DEI clause in court.
