BUSHING

The contract, awarded on July 17, 2026, to NORTHROP GRUMMAN SYSTEMS CORPORATION (CAGE 90099), is a $22,296.00 delivery order issued under the IDIQ contract SPE4A122G0004, solicited under SPE4A5-26-T-0041. It covers the supply of a single line item: a BUSHING identified by NSN 5365010629311 and procurement request number PR 7013942662, with performance to occur at the contractor’s facility in Sunnyvale, California. The award was made as a modification (P00001) to an existing agreement, with no quantities, unit prices, delivery schedules, or FOB terms specified in the documentation. The contract is administered by the Defense Logistics Agency, specifically DLA Aviation, with oversight from the contracting officer Dean Allen at the Richmond, Virginia office. Compliance with FAR 52.222-90, addressing DEI discrimination by federal contractors under DoD Class Deviation 2026-00040, is mandatory, requiring the contractor to prohibit race-based DEI practices, flow the clause down to subcontracts, report subcontractor violations, and disclose any litigation related to the clause. Non-compliance is deemed material to payment under 31 U.S.C. 3729(b)(4), exposing the contractor to False Claims Act liability. No packaging, marking, inspection, or quality standards are referenced, and no MIL-STDs or technical specifications are cited for the bushing. The contract contains no details on payment office, invoicing method, accounting lines, inspection locations, or acceptance criteria beyond the contractor’s obligation to sign and return documents. Representations include the contractor's CAGE code but no socioeconomic certifications or UEI. No evaluation factors, weights, or award basis are documented, though the low-dollar value and use of an IDIQ contract suggest a simplified LPTA process. The contract does not include attachments, special requirements beyond DEI compliance, or information on COR/COTR, options, or period of performance beyond the award date.
