CELL, FUEL, AIRCRAFT

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded a contract to American Fuel Cell and Coated Fabrics Company, LLC, with CAGE code 05476, for the procurement of aircraft fuel cells under solicitation SPE4A7-25-T-864B and contract number SPE4A726V0903, with an award date of July 17, 2026, and a total contract value of $100,509.00. The sole line item is the aircraft fuel cell identified by NSN 1560017081071, with performance to occur at the contractor’s facility in Magnolia, Arkansas. The contract includes the mandatory FAR clause 52.222-90, Addressing DEI Discrimination by Federal Contractors, as revised under Deviation 2026-00040, which prohibits racially discriminatory DEI practices, requires flow-down to all U.S.-based subcontractors, mandates reporting of subcontractor noncompliance or litigation challenging the clause, and deems compliance material to payment. No other contract clauses, technical specifications, packaging standards, inspection criteria, or quality assurance requirements are explicitly detailed in the documentation, though standard DoD identification practices are implied through the use of the NSN and CAGE code. The contracting office is DLA Aviation in Richmond, Virginia, with Dean Allen serving as the Principal Contracting Officer and CARL.ALLEN@DLA.MIL as the contact point. The NAICS code is 336413, indicating aircraft engine and engine parts manufacturing, but no socioeconomic status or small business certification is provided. The solicitation specifies use of Standard Form 30 for modifications and permits electronic or physical submission, though no deadline, evaluation factors, or basis of award are documented. There is no mention of invoicing method, payment office details, accounting codes, or barcoding requirements, and no contract type is stated. The agency’s oversight is administered by DCMA South, but no Contracting Officer’s Representative is identified. The absence of detailed performance schedules, FOB terms, delivery timelines, or technical specifications suggests a streamlined award focused on compliance and logistical fulfillment under existing military logistics frameworks.
