The Defense Logistics Agency awarded Contract SPE7M125P6471 to PETIT TOOL CO. THE (CAGE 64V18) on July 15, 2026, for a total value of $84,724.90 under solicitation SPE7M1-25-T-004C. The contract includes two line items: Government First Article Test for part 0001S00000052 and supply of the CAM PROFILE, ARRESTI with NSN 1710004806490. Although the contract was issued under simplified acquisition procedures and incorporates FAR 13.302(a), no detailed quantities, unit prices, delivery schedules, or FOB terms are specified. The place of performance is not formally designated, but the contractor’s location in Thomaston, Connecticut, is implied as the site of activity. The award is administered by DLA Land and Maritime, with Contracting Officer Michael Finken overseeing the contract from Columbus, Ohio, and contract administration handled by DCMA Northeast. The contract includes the non-standard clause FAR 52.222-90 addressing DEI discrimination, implemented via unilateral modification using deviation 2026-00040, requiring compliance with Department of Labor guidelines on diversity, equity, and inclusion in the workplace. No detailed packaging, marking, preservation, or inspection standards are documented, nor are specific quality or technical specifications cited beyond the implicit requirement to meet government acceptance criteria through first article testing. The contracting officer has authority to modify the contract under FAR 43.103(b), and all post-award communications and submissions must occur via the DIBBS portal. The awardee’s small business status, socioeconomic certifications, and specific accounting codes (AAC, TAS, ACRN) are not disclosed, and no COR or COTR information is provided. Payment will be processed through DLA Land and Maritime’s designated office in Columbus, Ohio, though the precise invoicing method—such as WAWF or IPP—is not confirmed. The lack of attachments, evaluation factors, or special requirements in the provided documentation suggests critical technical and administrative details may reside in unretrieved continuation sheets or supplementary documents referenced but not included in the available record.
