GASKET

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded a delivery order under contract SPE4A122G0005 to Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation, with a total contract value of $20,429.15, for the supply of a single gasket identified by NSN Part 5330017164662. The award was issued on July 21, 2026, under solicitation SPE4A6-26-T-137G, and the place of performance is specified as Sikorsky’s facility at 6900 Main Street, Stratford, Connecticut. The contract is classified under NAICS code 339991 and is administered by DLA Aviation in Richmond, Virginia, with the Contracting Officer being Dean Allen, reachable via email and phone. No Contracting Officer’s Representative or Contracting Officer’s Technical Representative is identified in the documentation. The contract is structured as a modification under a delivery order, with no stated option quantities, extended delivery schedules, or FOB terms. Payment office details are provided, but no invoicing mechanism such as WAWF or IPP is specified, and accounting data including AAC, TAS, or ACRN lines are left blank. The most significant and exclusive requirement of this contract is the incorporation of FAR clause 52.222-90, Addressing DEI Discrimination by Federal Contractors, Revision 1, effective April 2026, under deviation 2026-00040. This clause mandates strict compliance with federal directives prohibiting racially discriminatory Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion practices in hiring, promotions, and resource allocation, with noncompliance considered material to payment under 31 U.S.C. 3729(b)(4), exposing the contractor to False Claims Act liability. The clause applies to all subcontracts performed within the United States and requires the contractor to report any known subcontractor violations or legal challenges to the Contracting Officer. No other clauses, technical specifications, inspection standards, or packaging requirements are detailed. The acquisition has no disclosed evaluation factors or source selection methodology, consistent with its low value and the commercial nature of the item procured. All contractual obligations, reporting duties, and flow-down requirements hinge exclusively on DEI compliance, with no mention of security, personnel, or performance metrics beyond the delivery of the gasket.
