BELLCRANK AND TORQU

The contract awarded to M&B ASSEMBLY CORP (CAGE 5N5U5) under number SPE4A726P3711 with a total value of $45,900.00 was issued by the Defense Logistics Agency on July 17, 2026, following solicitation SPE4A6-25-T-96U6. The award pertains to two line items: a Government First Article Test and the delivery of a Bellcrank and Torqu component. The contract’s principal focus is compliance with FAR 52.222-90, which prohibits racially discriminatory Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion practices in hiring, promotions, subcontracting, and program participation, as mandated by Executive Orders 14275, 14265, and 14398, and OMB Memorandum M-25-26. This requirement is flowed down to all subcontracts performed within the United States, with an exception for work conducted entirely overseas. The contractor must report any subcontractor violations or legal challenges to the Contracting Officer, provide full access to records upon request, and immediately notify the government in writing of noncompliance or disagreement with the clause. Noncompliance may result in contract termination, suspension, or future debarment. Performance is to occur at the contractor’s facility in Gardena, California, and the Government assumes no liability for costs arising from non-acceptance of the modification. The contract’s packaging, preservation, and labeling specifications are not detailed beyond requiring inclusion of the NSN, CAGE code, and contract number, implying adherence to standard military standards such as MIL-STD-129 or MIL-STD-2073 without explicit citation. Payment procedures, invoicing methods, and accounting codes are not specified, nor are there designated COR/COTR roles listed. Contract administration is handled by DCMA Southern California, and the contracting officer is Dean Allen. No evaluation factors, weights, or basis of award are formally disclosed, though the nature of the first article test and fixed-price structure suggest a likely LPTA approach. The contract has no stated end date, with performance beginning on the award date of July 17, 2026.
