COVER, SPLICE, AIRCRA

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded Bell Textron Inc. a contract modification valued at $95,450.67 for the procurement of a single line item, COVER, SPLICE, AIRCRA, identified by NSN 1680015763906 and PR 7014384027, under the delivery order SPRPA121G001W. The award, dated July 17, 2026, was issued as a modification to a previously issued solicitation, SPE4A5-26-T-2256, and is performance-based at Bell Textron’s facility in Fort Worth, Texas. While the technical specifications for the part are not detailed in the documentation, the contract is primarily defined by the incorporation of FAR 52.222-90, Addressing DEI Discrimination by Federal Contractors, implemented under DoD Class Deviation 2026-00040, Revision 1, effective April 2026. This clause mandates that Bell Textron refrain from engaging in any DEI activities that discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, or national origin, and requires the clause to be flowed down to all subcontracts where feasible. The contractor must report any known violations by subcontractors and notify the contracting officer if legal action is taken challenging the clause’s validity. Responsibility for compliance, reporting, and adherence to these requirements rests with the contractor, while oversight is maintained by Contracting Officer Dean Allen at DLA Aviation in Richmond, Virginia. The contract contains no explicit reference to technical standards such as MIL-STD-129 or MIL-STD-2073, nor are packaging, preservation, or marking instructions detailed beyond the implied application of military identification protocols through the NSN and CAGE code 32069. No quantity, delivery schedule, FOB terms, inspection criteria, or quality standards are specified for the part itself, and no COR or COTR is identified. Payment details, accounting appropriation data, invoicing procedures, and specific inspection locations remain unprovided, though the place of performance is clearly defined as Fort Worth, Texas. The award was issued without a formal solicitation response period, as this is a contract modification, and while the modification was effective November 20, 2025, the official award date is July 17, 2026.
