COVER, PARACHUTE RIS

The U.S. Defense Logistics Agency awarded a fixed-price contract modification, SPE4A726P4008, to MARTIN-BAKER AIRCRAFT COMPANY LIMITED (CAGE U1604) for the supply of one unit of a parachute riser cover identified by NSN 1670992531784, with a total contract value of $24,317.95. The award was issued on July 17, 2026, under solicitation SPE4A7-26-Q-0202, following a modification (P00001) that incorporated the federally mandated clause FAR 52.222-90, Addressing DEI Discrimination by Federal Contractors, utilizing DoD Class Deviation 2026-00040, Revision 1. The contractor, headquartered in Denham, United Kingdom, is required to flow this clause down to all tiers of subcontractors and must report any violations or legal challenges related to its enforcement. The contract's place of performance is outside the United States, consistent with the UK-based primary contractor location. Although no detailed technical specifications, packaging standards, inspection criteria, or delivery schedules are present in the documentation, the supply is tied to the NSN system and administered by DLA Aviation’s ASC Commodities Division, with Carl Allen as the contracting officer. No information is provided regarding quantities, unit pricing, invoicing methods, accounting authorities, or the presence of a contracting officer’s representative or technical representative. The contract does not indicate socioeconomic status, small business certification, or additional special requirements beyond compliance with the DEI clause. The award reflects a minimal-value, non-complex procurement typical of a single-end item supply under a fixed-price structure, with administrative compliance serving as the primary contractual emphasis.
