BULKHEAD, AIRCRAFT

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded a fixed-price contract to AERO-GLEN INTERNATIONAL LLC (CAGE 9V172) for the procurement of one aircraft bulkhead (NSN 1560016716217) under solicitation SPE4A6-25-T-34XZ, with a total contract value of $142,500.00. The award was issued on July 17, 2026, with the contract modification P00001 effective from January 23, 2026, and performance is to occur at the contractor’s facility in Fort Worth, Texas. The contract is administered by the DLA Aviation, ASC Commodities Division in Richmond, Virginia, with Dean Allen serving as the Contracting Officer. No subcontractors, options, or additional line items are included, and no detailed packaging, inspection, or delivery terms such as FOB conditions or acceptance locations are specified beyond the general requirement to comply with federal contract laws. A core and mandatory requirement of the contract is compliance with FAR 52.222-90, implemented under DoD Class Deviation 2026-00040, Revision 1, which prohibits racially discriminatory diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) practices in hiring, promotion, vendor selection, and program participation. The contractor must not engage in race-based discrimination or segregation in any DEI activities and must report known violations by subcontractors to the Contracting Officer. This clause flows down to all subcontracts performed within the United States, and failure to comply may result in termination of the contract and liability under the False Claims Act. The contractor is also required to provide access to records and facilities for compliance verification. No socioeconomic status, size certification, or specific technical standards for the bulkhead are disclosed, and no Contracting Officer’s Representative or technical representative is listed. Invoicing, accounting codes, and inspection criteria are not detailed, and the award basis is inferentially consistent with a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable approach given the simplicity of the deliverable and absence of technical evaluation factors in the documentation.
