CABLE ASSEMBLY, SPEC

The Contract SPE4A626V3577, awarded on July 17, 2026, by the Defense Logistics Agency to RICHARD MANUFACTURING COMPANY (CAGE 67291), is a supply contract valued at $111,273.00 for 13,364 units of a cable assembly identified by NSN 6150009546104. The contract stems from solicitation SPE4A6-25-T-16HY and incorporates a critical regulatory clause, FAR 52.222-90, as implemented under DoD Class Deviation 2026-00040, Revision 1, effective April 2026. This clause mandates strict compliance with federal directives prohibiting racially discriminatory Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion practices, requiring the contractor to refrain from any programs that deny participation or allocate benefits based on race or skin color, promote race-based stereotypes, or engage in similar conduct. The requirement flows down to all subcontractors at or above the simplified acquisition threshold, and the contractor is obligated to report any known violations to the contracting officer, with noncompliance directly impacting payment eligibility under 31 U.S.C. 3729(b)(4). Performance is expected to occur at Hill Air Force Base, Utah, while the contractor’s operational address is in Ogden, Utah. The contract does not specify a formal period of performance, delivery schedule, FOB terms, or detailed packaging and marking requirements under MIL-STDs; technical specifications for the cable assembly are not detailed in the available documentation. Administration is handled by the DLA Aviation, ASC Commodities Division in Richmond, Virginia, with Carl Allen serving as the point of contact for contract matters; however, no Contracting Officer’s Representative or Contracting Officer’s Technical Representative is named. The contract type remains unspecified, though the NAICS code 335931 indicates it is a supply contract for cable and composite product manufacturing. No socioeconomic certifications, size status declarations, or evaluation factors for award were documented, and no attachments or inspection criteria beyond regulatory compliance are enumerated. The award appears to have been administratively processed, with compliance with the DEI clause serving as the central contractual obligation, and electronic submission through recognized federal systems is permitted.
