The Defense Logistics Agency awarded S3 AERODEFENSE LLC a contract valued at $99,990.00 for the procurement of a DUCT ASSEMBLY, BLEED with NSN 1560007228208 under solicitation SPE4A7-25-T-498E, with the award issued on July 17, 2026. The contract is a modification, P00001, of an original action dated November 26, 2025, and is administered by the DLA Aviation, ASC Commodities Division in Richmond, VA, with contract oversight handled by DCMA Great Lakes in Arlington Heights, IL. The contractor, located in Milwaukee, WI, is required to deliver the item in compliance with standard Department of Defense packaging and marking practices, including the use of NSN, CAGE code 4GPC1, and facility code 70628, with expectations to adhere to MIL-STD-129 and MIL-STD-2073 though not explicitly codified in the document. Payment is to be processed through the DLA Aviation office, and invoicing is presumed to occur via WAWF, consistent with DoD norms. No delivery schedule, FOB terms, or period of performance are explicitly detailed, but performance is understood to occur at the contractor’s facility in the United States. This contract incorporates a unique and significant administrative requirement under FAR 52.222-90, Addressing DEI Discrimination by Federal Contractors, implemented via DoD Class Deviation 2026-00040 Rev 1 and aligned with Executive Orders 14275, 14265, and 14398, as well as OMB Memorandum M-25-26. The contractor must strictly prohibit race-based discrimination in any DEI programs and is required to report known or reasonably knowable violations by subcontractors, notify the contracting officer if any subcontractor challenges the clause in litigation, and provide immediate written notice if unable or unwilling to comply. This clause is material to payment under 31 U.S.C. § 3729 and must be flowed down to all subcontracts unless performed entirely outside the U.S. No other technical specifications, quality standards, inspection criteria, or socioeconomic certifications are provided, and the award methodology, evaluation factors, or contract type remain unspecified
