LIGHT, NAVIGATIONAL,

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded contract SPE4A526F3197 to Grimes Aerospace Company (CAGE 72914) for a single line item: a navigational light (NSN 6220010130297) at a total price of $52,889.66, with an award date of July 21, 2026. This delivery order falls under the broader indefinite delivery contract SPE4A122G0015 and stems from solicitation SPE4A5-26-T-1356. Performance is to occur at the contractor’s facility in Urbana, Ohio, with no specified delivery schedule, FOB terms, or option quantities. The contract includes the mandatory clause FAR 52.222-90, “Addressing DEI Discrimination by Federal Contractors,” enforced under Department of Defense Class Deviation 2026-00040 and aligned with Executive Orders 14275, 14265, and 14398, requiring the contractor to prohibit discriminatory DEI practices, flow the clause down to subcontracts (excluding those performed outside the U.S.), and report any violations or legal challenges by subcontractors. No technical specifications, packaging, preservation, or marking standards are explicitly defined beyond the NSN and CAGE code for traceability, and no military standards such as MIL-STD-129 or MIL-STD-2073 are cited. The contracting officer is Dean Allen at DLA Aviation in Richmond, Virginia, with administration handled by DCMA Ohio River Valley at Wright-Patterson AFB, Ohio, though no contracting officer’s representative is named. The contractor’s CAGE code is confirmed, but no UEI, small business status, or socioeconomic certifications are documented. The invoicing method, payment office details, accounting data (AAC/TAS/ACRN), and inspection or quality acceptance criteria are not specified, leaving compliance primarily tied to DEI reporting obligations rather than technical delivery expectations. The contract was issued as a modification (P00001), signed on July 21, 2026, following an issuance date of January 12, 2026, and proposals were due by October 27, 2025, with submissions required via Standard Form 30 and reference to the solicitation and amendment
