DRY AIR UNIT

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded Northern Defense Industries LLC, with CAGE code 8E2L3, a firm-fixed-price contract valued at $132,230.04 for the procurement of one Dry Air Unit identified by NSN 5940-01-644-4575 under solicitation SPE4A7-26-T-0883. The award was issued on July 17, 2026, with performance to be conducted at the contractor’s facility in Stevensville, Maryland. The contract modification P00001 supersedes an earlier base contract dated December 10, 2025, and includes a single line item with no option periods or variable quantities, indicating a straightforward acquisition. The primary contractual requirement centers on compliance with FAR 52.222-90, implemented under DoD Class Deviation 2026-00040, which prohibits discrimination based on race, religion, gender identity, and sexual orientation, and mandates reporting of subcontractor violations and legal challenges to the clause. This compliance obligation is treated as material to payment under federal fraud statutes. No technical specifications, inspection criteria, packaging standards, or performance metrics for the Dry Air Unit are detailed in the available documentation, nor are there specified FOB terms, payment office details, or identified Contracting Officer’s Technical Representative. The contracting officer is Dean Allen of DLA Aviation in Richmond, Virginia, with no COR or COTR listed. The solicitation did not disclose evaluation factors or award basis, though the fixed-price structure and lack of technical evaluation data suggest a lowest price technically acceptable approach. The contractor’s size status and socioeconomic certifications are not stated. Electronic submission and communication are presumed acceptable, but no formal invoicing system or accounting data is provided. All administrative and compliance obligations fall under federal contracting norms with no additional special requirements such as security clearances, key personnel designations, or organizational conflict of interest clauses identified.
