NUT BLANK

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded The Boeing Company a delivery order under contract SPE4A125G0009 for the procurement of 3,875 nut blanks, identified by NSN 5310-01-543-1506, at a unit price of $9.87, resulting in a total contract value of $38,362.85. The award, issued on July 21, 2026, through solicitation SPE4A6-25-T-47TZ, is a modification to an existing contract and requires performance at The Boeing Company’s facility in Hazelwood, Missouri. The contract is governed by the inclusion of FAR 52.222-90, “Addressing DEI Discrimination by Federal Contractors,” implemented by DoD Class Deviation 2026-00040, Revision 1, which prohibits racially discriminatory diversity, equity, and inclusion practices and mandates strict compliance, recordkeeping, and flow-down of the clause to all subcontracts except those performed entirely outside the United States. The contractor is obligated to report any known violations by subcontractors and notify the Contracting Officer if a subcontractor legally challenges the clause. The government retains inspection and acceptance authority with no specific location designated, and while standard commercial item procurement practices are likely followed, no technical specifications, MIL-STDs, or quality standards beyond regulatory compliance are explicitly stated. The contracting officer is Dean Allen, with administrative oversight through DLA Aviation’s ASC Supplier Oper OEM Division in Richmond, Virginia, and payment and invoicing procedures are not detailed. No subcontracting, security clearance, key personnel, or option provisions are indicated, and socioeconomic status or size certifications are not provided. The contract appears to be a low-value, fixed-price delivery order primarily governed by recent federal policy requirements related to DEI compliance rather than technical or logistical specifications.
