LINK ASSEMBLY MAIN

The contract, awarded to BELL TEXTRON INC with CAGE code 97499 under DLA Aviation, is a modification to delivery order SPRPA121G001W for the procurement of a LINK ASSEMBLY MAIN identified by NSN 1615012913142. The total contract value is $18,031.50, with an award date of July 17, 2026, and performance to occur at the contractor’s facility in Fort Worth, Texas. The contract was issued under solicitation SPE4A5-26-T-3228 as a modification (P00001) under the authority of FAR 43.203(b), indicating it is a supplemental agreement to an existing basic contract, likely an IDIQ or Blanket Purchase Agreement. The procuring office is the DLA Aviation ASC Supplier Oper OEM Division located in Richmond, Virginia, with Dean Allen serving as the Contracting Officer and point of contact for administrative matters. A key and unique requirement of this contract is the inclusion of FAR clause 52.222-90, Addressing DEI Discrimination by Federal Contractors, incorporated through DoD Class Deviation 2026-00040, Revision 1. This clause prohibits the contractor from engaging in racially discriminatory DEI activities and requires compliance with OMB M-25-26, including the flowdown of this clause to all subcontracts performed within the United States, reporting of subcontractor violations, and notification to the government of any legal challenges to the clause’s applicability. The contractor must maintain records and provide access upon request, with potential termination for noncompliance. No other special requirements, such as security clearances, OCI provisions, or technical specifications, are documented. Inspection and acceptance procedures are not explicitly defined, nor are packaging, preservation, or marking requirements specified. The award does not indicate any socioeconomic status, small business certification, or evaluation factors, and no detailed delivery schedule, FOB terms, or invoicing instructions are provided. The contract lacks technical specifications for the LINK ASSEMBLY MAIN beyond its NSN, and no quality standards, testing criteria, or acceptance metrics are referenced, leaving compliance focused solely on administrative and policy obligations under the DEI clause.
