The U.S. Defense Logistics Agency awarded Contract SPE4A726P5886 to G. S. E. DYNAMICS, INC. (CAGE 29183) on July 21, 2026, for a total value of $72,500.00 under Solicitation SPE4A7-25-T-801U. The contract encompasses two primary line items: a Government First Article Test and a Structural Panel, AI (NSN 1560006494988), with performance expected to comply with federal procurement standards and validation requirements tied to first article acceptance. The contract was modified effective January 26, 2026, and incorporates FAR 52.222-90, Addressing DEI Discrimination by Federal Contractors, implemented under DoD Deviation 2026-00040, Revision 1, which mandates non-discrimination in hiring and subcontracting, requires reporting of subcontractor violations, and obligates flowdown of the clause to all domestic subcontracts. The contracting officer is Dean Allen at DLA Aviation, ASC Commodities Division in Richmond, Virginia, with administrative oversight managed by DCMA Northeast at Hanscom AFB, Massachusetts, though no Contracting Officer’s Representative or Technical Representative is named. The place of performance and delivery locations remain unspecified, though the contractor is based in Hauppauge, New York. No detailed packaging, preservation, or labeling requirements are provided, and no specific inspection criteria, acceptance locations, or quality standards are outlined beyond the implicit expectations of the Government First Article Test. Pricing details for individual line items are not disclosed, and no delivery schedule, FOB terms, payment office details, accounting codes, or invoicing method are included. The contract lacks information on evaluation factors, socioeconomic status, size certifications, or any completed representations under Section K, and no attachments or technical specifications are listed in Section J. The award was made without a stated contract type, and no option quantities or extended pricing details are available, limiting visibility into the full scope beyond the awarded amount and the DEI compliance obligation.
