CONTAINER ASSEMBLY

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded Contract SPE4A726P4935 to M&B ASSEMBLY CORP (CAGE 5N5U5) on July 21, 2026, for a total value of $69,900.00 under Solicitation SPE4A7-26-T-2765, with a modification number of P00001. The contract entails the delivery of 100 Container Assemblies (NSN 1680010512917) at a unit price of $600.00 and one Government First Article Test (NSN 0001S00000052) priced at $9,900.00, with performance to occur at the contractor’s facility located at 15926A S Figueroa St, Gardena, CA 90248-2433. The contract is governed by Federal Acquisition Regulation clauses, most notably FAR 52.222–90, Addressing DEI Discrimination by Federal Contractors, implemented under DoD Deviation 2026–00040, Revision 1, which imposes strict compliance obligations including prohibition of race-based DEI practices, mandatory reporting of subcontractor violations, disclosure of any legal challenges to the clause, and full flowdown requirements to all subcontracts unless performed entirely outside the U.S. Noncompliance is deemed material and may trigger False Claims Act liability. The contracting officer, Dean Allen, based at DLA Aviation in Richmond, VA, and supported by DCMA Southern California in Carson, CA, retains oversight authority, though no Contracting Officer’s Technical Representative is named. The NAICS code 332439 applies, but no socioeconomic certifications or size status are formally certified. The invoicing method, payment office details, accounting data (AAC/TAS/ACRN), and FOB terms are not specified in the documentation. Inspection and acceptance responsibilities are implied to rest with the Government, with the Government First Article Test serving as the primary quality verification mechanism. No packaging, marking, or military standards are detailed, and no formal evaluation factors, weights, or award methodology are documented, though the low value and standard nature of the item suggest a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable approach. The contract has no stated period of performance, options, or indefinite-delivery
