LIGHTWELL, UTILITY

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded contract SPE4A726P5576 to THE HANDY TOOL & MFG. CO., INC. (CAGE 91750) for a total value of $84,000 with an award date of July 21, 2026. The contract encompasses the procurement of two quantities of LIGHTWELL, UTILITY (NSN 1560000698045) and one Government First Article Test, with performance to occur at the awardee’s facility in Brooklyn, New York. The contract is administered by DLA Aviation’s Aviation Supply Chain in Richmond, Virginia, with technical oversight delegated to DCMA Northeast at Hanscom AFB, Massachusetts. The contracting officer is Dean Allen, with no named COR/COTR identified. No detailed pricing per line item, FOB terms, delivery schedule, or packaging and marking specifications are provided in the documentation, though the overall contract value is fixed at $84,000 without option quantities or extension mechanisms indicated. The contract includes the mandatory clause FAR 52.222-90, addressing DEI discrimination by federal contractors, implemented under DoD Class Deviation 2026-00040 Revision 1. This clause prohibits the contractor and all subcontractors (except those performing entirely outside the U.S.) from engaging in racially or ethnically discriminatory diversity, equity, and inclusion programs in employment, contracting, or program participation. The contractor is required to report any violations by subcontractors and notify the Contracting Officer if a subcontractor initiates legal action challenging the clause. Compliance is deemed material to payment under 31 U.S.C. 3729(b)(4), making noncompliance potentially subject to contract termination, False Claims Act liability, suspension, or debarment. No other contract clauses, technical specifications, inspection criteria, quality standards, or detailed accounting data such as TAS or AAC codes are included in the available documentation. The solicitation number references a modification issued under an original contract date of January 20, 2026, but no evaluation factors, source selection methodology, or submission instructions for offerors are present. Despite the absence of attachment lists, packaging standards, and inspection protocols, the contract remains enforceable through the DEI compliance requirement and the administrative structure established by DLA and DCMA.
