(CAGE 29183) on July 17, 2026, is a fixed-price agreement valued at $190,000.00 for the performance of a Government First Article Test and delivery of a Cargo Bracket Assembly, identified by NSN 1560010341340. The work stems from solicitation SPE4A7-26-T-2067, which was set aside for Women-Owned Small Businesses under NAICS code 541380, and performance is required to occur at the contractor’s facility in Hauppauge, NY, with oversight administered by DLA Aviation in Richmond, VA, and DCMA Northeast at Hanscom AFB, MA. The contract includes a mandatory clause, FAR 52.222-90, which prohibits discriminatory diversity, equity, and inclusion practices and requires the contractor to flow the clause down to all U.S.-based subcontractors, report any non-compliance or legal challenges involving subcontractors, and maintain records for government audit. The contractor is obligated to complete the First Article Test to validate design and manufacturing conformance, though specific technical specifications, inspection criteria, or quality standards are not detailed in the available documentation. Delivery and performance terms lack explicit FOB conditions or defined period of performance dates, and while marking requirements reference NSN, contract number, and SF-30 compliance, no packaging, preservation, or labeling standards such as MIL-STD-129 are cited. Payment will be processed by DLA Aviation through Carl Allen, but no invoicing method, accounting code (AAC, TAS, ACRN), or Contracting Officer’s Representative is identified. The award reflects a streamlined acquisition process without disclosed evaluation factors or trade-off methodology, indicating possible award under lowest price technically acceptable criteria, with no options or extended delivery terms specified, and total value capped at the base amount of $190,000.
