INSERT, SCREW THREAD

The contract is a fixed-price award issued by the Defense Logistics Agency to DON INDUSTRIAL GROUP LLC under contract number SPE4A626P9958 for the supply of one line item: INSERT, SCREW THREAD, identified by NSN 5325011198246. The total contract value is $51,162.93, awarded on July 21, 2026, under solicitation SPE4A6-26-T-101C, with a place of performance at the contractor’s facility in Houston, Texas. Despite the nominal scope of the item being a standard mechanical fastener, the contract’s primary focus is regulatory compliance rather than technical delivery, driven by the inclusion of FAR 52.222-90, Addressing DEI Discrimination by Federal Contractors, which has been modified by a Department of Defense class deviation to enforce prohibitions against racially discriminatory Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion practices. The contractor must ensure all subcontractors flow down this clause, report any violations, provide access to records upon request, and immediately notify the contracting officer if legal challenges arise. Compliance under this clause carries potential consequences including contract termination, payment withholding, or False Claims Act liability. No specific delivery schedule, FOB terms, quantity details, inspection criteria, packaging requirements, or technical specifications beyond the NSN are provided, suggesting reliance on existing federal supply standards. The contract does not include performance incentives, option periods, or designated contracting officer’s representatives. Payment and invoicing details are not fully documented in the available data, though the issuing office is listed as DLA Aviation in Richmond, Virginia, with Carl Allen as the contracting officer. The awardee’s CAGE code is 745V4, and while the NAICS code 332722 is cited, no socioeconomic status or small business certification is indicated. The contract’s administrative framework relies on Standard Form 30 with continuation sheets, and while attachments or inspection procedures are referenced indirectly, no formal documentation for quality control, marking, or preservation is present. The award appears to reflect a compliance-driven procurement rather than a traditional acquisition of goods.
