LEVER ASSEMBLY, THRO

The contract SPE4A726P3569, awarded on July 17, 2026, to M&B ASSEMBLY CORP with CAGE code 5N5U5, is valued at $127,000 and encompasses three line items: a Government First Article Test and two identical Lever Assembly, Thro components identified by NSN 2995011174429 with different purchase requisition numbers. The performance location is the contractor’s facility in Gardena, California, with administrative oversight handled by DLA Aviation in Richmond, Virginia, and contract administration assigned to DCMA Southern California. The contract’s primary legal and compliance framework centers on FAR 52.222-90, “Addressing DEI Discrimination by Federal Contractors,” incorporated via DoD Class Deviation 2026-00040, Revision 1, and aligned with Executive Orders 14275, 14265, and 14398, and OMB Memorandum M-25-26. This clause mandates strict prohibition of racially or ethnically discriminatory DEI practices in all aspects of contracting activities, requires immediate reporting of subcontractor violations, necessitates flow-down of the clause to all applicable subcontracts, and ties payment directly to compliance under 31 U.S.C. 3729(b)(4). While the contract includes a Government First Article Test designation, no specific inspection criteria, quality standards, packaging requirements, or delivery schedules are detailed in the available documentation. No quantity, unit price, or extended cost data is provided for the line items, and the contract type, payment methodology, invoicing system, and COTR identification are unspecified. The award was administered as a modification (P00001) effective July 17, 2026, with the original contract dating to December 4, 2025. The contracting officer, Dean Allen, serves as the sole point of contact for all administrative matters, including compliance verification and payment coordination. No socioeconomic certifications, size status representations, or formal attachments are documented, and the evaluation factors leading to the award remain undisclosed. The contract’s structure reflects a compliance-driven modification rather than a traditional procurement of goods or services, with performance measured solely by adherence to federal non-discrimination mandates.
