29--HOUSING,SPECIAL

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded Contract SPE4A726V0922 to NORCATEC LLC, a small business with CAGE code 9A148, for the procurement of a specialized housing component identified by NSN 2915012572132, with a total contract value of $188,362.00. The award was issued on July 17, 2026, under Solicitation SPE4A7-25-T-229C, which was set aside entirely for small businesses in accordance with FAR 19.5. The contract's place of performance is specified as NORCATEC LLC’s location in Garden City, New York, and the contracting office is located in Richmond, Virginia. The contract type is not explicitly stated, but the nature of the deliverable and the small dollar value suggest a firm-fixed-price structure. Performance timelines, delivery schedules, and FOB terms are not detailed in the available documentation. A critical special requirement embedded in the contract is the inclusion of FAR 52.222-90, "Addressing DEI Discrimination by Federal Contractors," modified under DoD Class Deviation 2026-00040, Revision 1. This clause mandates the contractor to refrain from discriminatory diversity, equity, and inclusion practices in its performance and requires flow-down of the clause to all subcontractors. The contractor is obligated to report any known subcontractor violations, disclose legal challenges to the clause, and maintain compliance records to avoid liability under the False Claims Act. No other specific clauses, packaging standards from MIL-STD-129 or MIL-STD-2073-1, inspection criteria, quality standards, or technical specifications were provided. While the contract references administrative data and accounting lines, specific payment office details, COTR information, invoicing methods, or appropriation codes are absent. Submission requirements referenced the use of Standard Form 30 and continuation sheets, with proposals due prior to April 16, 2025, though it is unclear if this date pertains to the original solicitation or a previous modification. No representations beyond the small business status and DEI compliance were documented, and no attachments, delivery schedules, or option periods are indicated.
