The Defense Logistics Agency awarded contract SPE4A726P4718 to THE HANDY TOOL & MFG. CO., INC. (CAGE 91750) for $234,000 to supply a single aircraft fairing identified by NSN 1560001183439 under solicitation SPE4A7-26-T-0225, with an award date of July 21, 2026. The procurement is structured as a total small business set-aside under FAR 19.5, and the contract is performed at the contractor’s facility located at 1205 Rockaway Ave, Brooklyn, NY. Although the contract value is fixed at $234,000, no quantities, delivery schedules, FOB terms, or performance timelines are specified beyond the award and solicitation response deadlines. The only incorporated clause of significance is FAR 52.222-90, Addressing DEI Discrimination by Federal Contractors, implemented through DoD Class Deviation 2026-00040, which mandates prohibition of racially discriminatory DEI practices in employment and subcontracting, requires reporting of subcontractor violations, obligates flow-down provisions to all applicable subcontracts, and permits contract termination or legal liability under 31 U.S.C. 3729(b)(4) for noncompliance. No technical specifications, quality standards, packaging, inspection criteria, or military standards like MIL-STD-129 or 130 are provided in the documentation, and no COTR, COR, payment office, or accounting data is identified. The contracting officer is Dean Allen, and the award reflects an LPTA-like process though unconfirmed, with no evaluation factors, trade-off methodology, or technical scoring criteria documented. The contractor’s CAGE code is confirmed, but no UEI, small business certifications beyond SBA status, or socioeconomic designations are explicitly stated. The contract includes a continuation sheet as part of SF-30 Amendment P00001, but no formal attachments, barcoding, or preservation requirements are detailed. Submission was required to the DLA Aviation office in Richmond, VA, and the acquisition falls under NAICS code 336413 for aircraft component manufacturing.
