The contract awarded to AEROSPACE & COMMERCIAL TECHNOLOGIES (CAGE 1XKR3) under solicitation SPE4A7-26-T-4758 with award number SPE4A726P5786 is valued at $37,388.55 and was issued on July 21, 2026. The primary purpose of the contract is to enforce compliance with FAR 52.222-90, “Addressing DEI Discrimination by Federal Contractors,” which implements Executive Orders 14275, 14265, and 14398, along with OMB Memorandum M-25-26. This clause mandates the contractor to cease any racially discriminatory Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion activities, including in recruitment, hiring, training, or subcontracting, and requires immediate reporting of any known violations by subcontractors to the Contracting Officer. The clause is mandatory in all subcontracts except those performed entirely outside the United States, and noncompliance can lead to contract termination. The contractor must also notify the government if any subcontractor initiates legal action against the DEI clause, and must provide access to all records, books, and accounts upon request to support compliance audits. The contract involves two line items: a Government First Article Test and a SKIN, AIRCRAFT component identified by NSN 1560010472504. Performance is to occur at the contractor’s facility in Fort Worth, TX, with administrative oversight handled by DLA Aviation’s ASC Commodities Division in Richmond, VA.

No Contracting Officer’s Representative, Contracting Officer’s Technical Representative, or Procurement Contracting Officer is named, and the payment office, accounting data (AAC, TAS, ACRN), and invoicing method are not specified. The contractor’s size status and socioeconomic certifications are not certified in the record, though its NAICS code of 541380 applies to environmental consulting services with a $16.5 million size standard. The contract is issued as a modification under the Defense Logistics Agency and relies on administrative enforcement of DEI compliance rather than technical deliver
