NUT, SELF-LOCKING, HE

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded a contract modification number SPE4A626P6976 to AERO-GLEN INTERNATIONAL LLC with a CAGE code of 9V172 for the procurement of a single line item: a self-locking nut identified by NSN 5310-01-449-5928, with a total contract value of $24,450.00. The award was issued on July 17, 2026, under solicitation SPE4A6-26-T-4088, and was processed under simplified acquisition procedures, indicating a limited competition or sole-source basis. The contract incorporates FAR 52.222-90, Addressing DEI Discrimination by Federal Contractors, as implemented via DoD Class Deviation 2026-00040, Revision 1, which prohibits the contractor and its subcontractors from engaging in or funding DEI programs or activities that discriminate on the basis of race, ethnicity, or personal characteristics in hiring, promotions, or contracting decisions. The contractor is obligated to flow down this clause to all subcontracts except those performed entirely outside the United States, report any noncompliance by subcontractors to the Contracting Officer, and provide information upon request for audit or investigation purposes. Noncompliance is considered material to payment obligations under 31 U.S.C. 3729(b)(4) and may result in contract cancellation or payment withholding. The contract does not specify detailed technical specifications, quality standards, packaging, preservation, or marking requirements, nor does it list applicable MIL-STDs or inspection criteria beyond general FAR compliance. The place of performance is not defined, though the contractor is located in Fort Worth, Texas, and the paying office is in Richmond, Virginia. There is no stated period of performance end date, delivery schedule, or FOB terms, and no separate options, funding ceilings, or personnel requirements are referenced. The Contracting Officer for the award is Dean Allen, reachable at CARL.ALLEN@DLA.MIL, while no COR or COTR information is provided. The absence of an explicit evaluation factors section, line-item pricing structure, or attachment list suggests this was a streamlined, administrative award based on a standard commercial item with minimal documentation requirements. The contractor’s UEI and socioeconomic status were not certified in the submitted documents, and no inspection location or acceptance authority is formally designated, leaving those responsibilities
