CABLE ASSEMBLY, SPEC

A&B FOUNDRY, LLC, with CAGE code 1A004, has been awarded contract SPE4A626PB793 by the Defense Logistics Agency under the Department of Defense for a total value of $997,500.00, with an award date of July 21, 2026. The contract encompasses two primary line items: the production of a CABLE ASSEMBLY, SPEC, and contractor-conducted PRODUCTION LOT TESTING. Performance is to occur at the contractor’s facility located at 835 N MAIN ST, FRANKLIN, OH 45005-1648, with no formal delivery schedule or end date specified, suggesting an as-needed or continuous performance requirement. The contracting office is DLA Aviation, ASC Supplier Operations AE and AF Division in Richmond, VA, with Dean Allen listed as the Contracting Officer and reachable via CARL.ALLEN@DLA.MIL, though no Contracting Officer’s Representative is identified. The contract employs a Firm Fixed Price structure consistent with typical DLA procurements, though the formal contract type is not explicitly stated. The most significant contractual requirement is the incorporation of FAR 52.222-90, Addressing DEI Discrimination by Federal Contractors, effective April 2026 and implemented under DoD Class Deviation 2026-00040, Revision 1. This clause imposes strict obligations on the contractor to avoid discriminatory DEI practices in employment and subcontracting, mandate reporting of subcontractor violations, notify the Contracting Officer of any legal challenges to the clause, and allow for full access to records under a materiality standard as defined by 31 U.S.C. 3729(b)(4). The clause must be flowed down to all subcontracts unless performed entirely outside the United States. No other contract sections—such as detailed pricing, technical specifications, packaging requirements, inspection protocols, acceptance criteria, or delivery terms—are documented in the available materials, nor are any socioeconomic certifications, size status representations, or attachment listings included. Invoicing instructions are general, allowing electronic submission or letter submission as directed by the Contracting Officer, with no specific system like WAWF referenced. The absence of detailed performance metrics, inspection locations, quality standards, or FOB terms suggests that the contract relies heavily on compliance with the DEI clause and contractor self-certification for production and testing, with administrative oversight conducted
