FAIRING, TAIL ROTOR

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation, CAGE code 78286, a firm-fixed-price delivery order totaling $158,989.89 for one Tail Rotor Fairing identified by NSN 1560011614283 under the multiple award contract SPE4A122G0005. The award was issued on July 21, 2026, through modification P00001 to solicitation SPE4A5-25-T-445Y, which closed for responses on June 11, 2025. Performance is to be conducted at Sikorsky’s facility in Stratford, Connecticut, with inspection and acceptance likely occurring onsite under the oversight of the Defense Contract Management Agency’s Vertical Lift office in the same location. Payment responsibilities lie with DLA Aviation, with Dean Allen serving as the Contracting Officer and point of contact for contractual matters, although no Contracting Officer’s Technical Representative or detailed payment instructions were provided. The contract includes no option quantities, extended delivery schedules, or specified FOB terms, and the sole line item represents the full value with no additional pricing components. The contract is uniquely governed by FAR 52.222-90, Addressing DEI Discrimination by Federal Contractors, implemented under DoD Class Deviation 2026-00040, Revision 1, which imposes strict prohibitions against racially discriminatory DEI practices in employment and subcontracting. Sikorsky is required to flow this clause down to all subcontractors except those operating wholly outside the United States, report any subcontractor violations or legal challenges to the clause, and provide full access to records upon request. Noncompliance is deemed material under the False Claims Act, rendering payment eligibility contingent on adherence. No other contract clause, specification, or technical standard beyond this DEI requirement is referenced, and no packaging, marking, or inspection criteria under MIL-STD documents are specified. While the NAICS code 336413 (Aircraft Manufacturing) is listed, socioeconomic status, size certification, and evaluation factors for award are not stated. The contract lacks details on invoicing systems, appropriation data, or formal attachments, and submission logistics rely on standard communication to the DLA Aviation office in Richmond, Virginia, with no mandated electronic portal identified.
