The contract encompasses two line items: 30 units of the FIRESHIELD ASSEMBLY (NSN 1560006077724) and one Government First Article Test. Performance is directed to occur at DCMA Northeast, Building 1108, Hanscom Air Force Base, Massachusetts, with the contractor headquartered in Brooklyn, New York. The contract type is inferred as fixed-price based on the structure and total awarded sum, though it is not explicitly designated. The award is not subject to any set-aside designation, and the NAICS code 332994 applies for size eligibility determination, though no socioeconomic certifications are indicated. The contract includes a mandatory clause, FAR 52.222-90, Addressing DEI Discrimination by Federal Contractors, implemented under DoD Class Deviation 2026-00040 Revision 1, imposing strict prohibitions against race-based DEI practices, requiring annual reporting, flowdown to all subcontracts (excluding those performed entirely outside the U.S.), and reporting obligations for subcontractor violations or legal challenges. Compliance is deemed material to payment under 31 U.S.C. 3729(b)(4), and noncompliance may result in termination or suspension. The Government retains authority for inspection and acceptance at Hanscom AFB, with the First Article Test serving as a key acceptance milestone. No explicit delivery schedule, FOB terms, or invoicing method are specified, though payment is administered through DLA Aviation in Richmond, Virginia, and contract oversight is conducted by DCMA Northeast. The contracting officer is Dean Allen, reachable at CARL.ALLEN@DLA.MIL, but no COR or COTR is named. Packaging, marking, technical specifications, or quality standards beyond the DEI clause are not detailed in the provided documentation. The contract includes no option periods, indefinite-delivery elements, or escalation provisions, and no accounting or appropriation data (AAC, TAS, ACRN) are populated.
