53--MOUNT,RESILIENT,WEAPON SYSTEM

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded contract SPE4A726P4118 to LORD CORPORATION, identified by CAGE code 76005, for the supply of a Resilient Weapon System Mount with NSN 5342013037768 at a total contract value of $103,281.60. The award was made on July 17, 2026, under solicitation SPE4A7-26-T-5017, with performance to occur at the contractor’s facility in Erie, Pennsylvania. The contract includes a single line item with no specified quantity or unit price breakdown, and no option quantities are indicated, suggesting a firm-fixed-price structure. Although no formal contract type is explicitly stated, the absence of variable pricing or options supports an assumption of a fixed-price arrangement. The place of performance and delivery are at the contractor’s location, while DLA Aviation in Richmond, Virginia, serves as the paying office under the administration of DCMA Mid-Atlantic in Chantilly, Virginia. Special requirements in the contract center on the inclusion of FAR clause 52.222-90, implemented via DoD Class Deviation 2026-00040, Revision 1, which prohibits contractors from enforcing diversity, equity, and inclusion programs that discriminate on the basis of race, sex, or other protected characteristics. This clause mandates that the contractor refrain from requiring employees or subcontractors to affirm or participate in discriminatory DEI activities and obligates them to report any violations by subcontractors. The contract also incorporates compliance with Executive Orders 14275, 14265, 14398, and OMB Memorandum M-25-26, which align federal acquisition policy with the prohibition of discriminatory DEI practices. While standard defense logistics conditions such as military packaging standards (MIL-STD-129 or MIL-STD-2073) are implied by the use of NSNs and DLA procurement practices, no explicit packaging, marking, labeling, or bar-coding requirements are documented. Inspection and acceptance authority rests with the Contracting Officer and DCMA, though specific inspection locations and quality standards are not detailed. No socioeconomic certifications, security clearance requirements, key personnel designations, or contract options are included, and no attachments or formal evaluation factors are provided in the documentation.
