The contract SPE7M126P1007, awarded by the Defense Logistics Agency to FORMICA INDUSTRIES LLC on July 15, 2026, encompasses a Government First Article Test and the procurement of 196 thermostatic switches with NSN 5930003620376, at a total value of $114,575. The contract was issued under solicitation SPE7M8-24-T-3907 using a simplified acquisition procedure, with a unilateral modification effective on the award date. The work involves delivering the thermostatic switches and completing the required First Article Test, with performance expected at the contractor’s facility in Westerville, Ohio, though no specific delivery location or FOB terms are defined. Payment is administered through DLA Land and Maritime, with Michael Finken listed as the Contracting Officer. The contract includes the FAR clause 52.222-90, Addressing DEI Discrimination by Federal Contractors, as amended by Deviation 2026-00040, Revision 1, requiring the contractor to implement and maintain a Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion program. No other special requirements, packaging specifications, MIL-STDs, or technical performance standards are specified in the available documentation. The place of performance, inspection location, and acceptance criteria are not explicitly defined but are presumed to follow standard FAR guidelines. While the contract includes line items with clearly defined pricing and quantities, there are no option periods, extended delivery schedules, or socioeconomic certifications disclosed. Invoicing methods, accounting codes, and the identity of the Contracting Officer’s Representative or Technical Representative are not provided, and key details such as the full scope of work, applicable standards for the thermostatic switch, and full attachment lists are referenced only through unprovided continuation sheets. The award notice, posted on DIBBS, confirms the contract’s administrative status but lacks comprehensive technical or logistical directives beyond the DEI compliance clause and the two enumerated line items.
