TUBE ASSEMBLY, METAL

The contract awarded to SRM MFG. CO., LLC under modification SPE7M425P2632, with an award date of July 15, 2026, involves a firm-fixed-price arrangement valued at $64,600 for the Government First Article Test and production of a metal tube assembly identified by NSN 4710014437352. The work is to be performed at the contractor’s facility in Fredericksburg, Texas, with oversight administered by DCMA South in Madison, Alabama, and funded through DLA Land and Maritime. The contract incorporates the unique FAR clause 52.222-90, addressing DEI discrimination by federal contractors under Deviation 2026-00040, Revision 1, which imposes compliance obligations related to workforce diversity and non-discrimination practices. Inspection and acceptance procedures are not detailed, but the Government retains responsibility for validation through the First Article Test, which is critical for certifying the production process prior to full-scale manufacturing. The contracting officer is Michael Finken, reachable through DLA, and invoicing is expected to be processed via WAWF in alignment with standard Department of Defense practices. No explicit delivery schedule, FOB terms, packaging, preservation, or marking requirements are provided in the available documentation, suggesting these details may be governed by external technical specifications or contained in unreferenced continuation sheets. The NAICS code 332996 identifies the contractor as a small business in other fabricated metal product manufacturing, though no socioeconomic certifications are explicitly stated. The solicitation number SPE7M4-25-T-2337 was used to issue this award, which was processed under simplified acquisition procedures, consistent with a low-dollar, non-complex procurement likely evaluated on a low-price technically acceptable basis.
