53--MOUNT,RESILIENT,WEA

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded CHAND, L.L.C. (CAGE 0D5X4) a firm-fixed-price contract valued at $597,704.94 under solicitation SPE4A7-26-Q-0145, with the award issued on July 21, 2026, and the contract modification dated January 28, 2026. The sole line item involves the delivery of a MOUNT, RESILIENT, WEA (NSN 5342011889584), with performance taking place at the contractor’s location in Mathews, Louisiana. The contract was awarded under NAICS code 332510 (Tool and Die Shops), and while the specific quantity and unit pricing are not detailed, the total awarded amount represents the full value of the procurement without optional or extended quantities. The contract is administered by DLA Aviation, ASC Supplier Oper OEM Division in Richmond, Virginia, with Dean Allen serving as the Contracting Officer, and payment inquiries directed to the same office. The place of performance is clearly identified as the contractor’s facility in the U.S., and no international performance is anticipated. A critical and distinctive element of the contract is the inclusion of FAR 52.222-90, “Addressing DEI Discrimination by Federal Contractors,” implemented through DoD Class Deviation 2026-00040, Revision 1. This clause mandates the contractor to prohibit any diversity, equity, and inclusion activities that involve racial or sex-based disparate treatment in hiring, contracting, or program participation, and requires strict compliance reporting, immediate notification of subcontractor noncompliance, and flow-down of the clause to all subcontracts unless performed entirely outside the United States. Compliance with this provision is deemed material to payment, and the contractor must provide all records upon request. The contract does not specify inspection or acceptance locations, packaging and marking standards, barcoding requirements, or detailed delivery schedules. No COR or COTR is identified, and there is no explicit information on invoicing methods, accounting codes, or appropriation data. While the contract utilizes a standard SF-30 modification form and references a continuation sheet, no explicit attachments, inspection criteria, or evaluation factors for award are documented in the available materials. The acquisition appears to be focused on regulatory compliance as a central requirement, with the technical deliverable being straightforward but governed by complex federal ethics and
