FAIRING, AIRCRAFT, AI

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded The Boeing Company, with CAGE code 0PXV4, a delivery order under the Rapid Delivery Release contract SPE4A125GR003 for 16 aircraft fairings, part number 1560014819499, at a total value of $26,258.08, with delivery scheduled to be completed by the award date of July 16, 2026. The contract was issued as a sole-source award under a Basic Order Agreement, and the sole delivery point is the Defense Finance and Accounting Service in Columbus, Ohio. The contract includes mandatory cybersecurity protections under DFARS clause 252.204-7012, with a deviation applied for 2024-00013, requiring compliance with NIST SP 800-171 Revision 2 and reporting of any cyber incidents to DIBNet within 72 hours, alongside the incorporation of representations and certifications under FAR 52.204-19. Packaging, marking, inspection, and acceptance procedures are referenced in the contract structure but no detailed requirements are provided in the available documentation, leaving specific standards for MIL-STD-129 or MIL-STD-2073 unconfirmed. Payment for the delivery order must be processed through the designated office in Columbus, Ohio under payment code SL4701, with electronic invoicing expected via EDI as noted in award transmission instructions. Although the contract references the presence of attachments including Schedule B and Page 1A SF26, their contents are not accessible, and no evaluation factors, pricing breakdowns beyond the single line item, or special requirements such as small business participation or socioeconomic certifications are explicitly documented. The procurement was likely conducted under a sealed-bid or negotiated non-competitive process consistent with Rapid Delivery Release mechanisms, with oversight managed through DLA Aviation in Richmond, Virginia, and no named Contracting Officer’s Representative identified. The contract does not include FOB terms, period-of-performance dates, or clear inspection criteria, and while cybersecurity obligations are firmly established, physical delivery, quality, or preservation standards remain unspecified.
