COUPLING HALF, QUICK

AAR SUPPLY CHAIN, INC, with CAGE code 1Y249, has been awarded a delivery order under contract SPE4A124G0043 for the procurement of a COUPLING HALF, QUICK (NSN 4730011943732) at a total price of $16,529.76, with the award issued on July 21, 2026, pursuant to solicitation SPE7M3-26-T-0392. The place of performance is confirmed as 1100 N WOOD DALE RD, WOOD DALE, IL 60191-1060, and while no detailed technical specifications, packaging requirements, or inspection criteria are provided in the documentation, the contract is governed by standard federal acquisition regulations with a primary focus on compliance with FAR 52.222-90, Addressing DEI Discrimination by Federal Contractors, as modified under Deviation 2026-00040, Revision 1, effective the date of award. This clause mandates that the contractor prohibit racially or ethnically discriminatory DEI practices in employment and subcontracting, flow the clause down to all U.S.-based subcontractors, and immediately report any known violations or legal challenges by subcontractors to the Contracting Officer, with noncompliance potentially leading to contract termination, suspension, or debarment. The contracting officer is Dean Allen of DLA Land and Maritime, Maritime Supply Chain, and the award was made under a fixed-price arrangement typical of low-dollar DLA catalog procurements, inferred to be on a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable basis due to the absence of structured evaluation factors or non-price criteria. No line-item breakdowns, quantities, unit pricing, FOB terms, or delivery schedules are specified in the available records, though payment obligations are tied to the agency's designated office at DLA Land and Maritime, PO Box 3990, Columbus, OH 43218-3990, with no formal COR or COTR identified. The contractor is required to affirm compliance with DEI nondiscrimination obligations as a material condition of payment under 31 U.S.C. 3729(b)(4), and modifications to the contract authority follow FAR 43.203(b), with all submissions required to reference the amendment P000
