53--NUT,SELF-LOCKING,PL

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded Contract SPE4A626P9102 to ADEPT FASTENERS INC, identified by CAGE code 1V0G6, for the procurement of a self-locking nut (NSN 5310007723720) at a total value of $165,816.00, with an award date of July 17, 2026. The contract stems from Solicitation SPE4A6-26-T-8418 and was issued via Modification P00001, effective December 10, 2025, under FAR 43.203(b), primarily for administrative alignment. The place of performance is the contractor’s facility in Valencia, California, and the administering office is the Defense Contract Management Agency in Southern California, with contract oversight managed by DLA Aviation in Richmond, Virginia. The sole deliverable is the specified nut, with no additional line-item details, pricing breakdowns, delivery schedules, FOB terms, or inspection criteria explicitly outlined in the contract documentation, implying reliance on standard military supply chain practices and NSN-based compliance. The contract incorporates the newly implemented FAR clause 52.222-90, Addressing DEI Discrimination by Federal Contractors, effective April 2026, under Deviation 2026-00040, Revision 1, aligning with Executive Orders 14275, 14265, and 14398, as well as OMB Memorandum M-25-26. This clause mandates that the contractor prohibit racially discriminatory DEI practices, report any subcontractor violations or legal challenges to the Contracting Officer, and flow down the clause’s requirements to all tiers of subcontracts. Compliance is deemed material to payment under 31 U.S.C. 3729(b)(4), and failure to adhere may lead to payment withholding or contract termination. While no specific packaging, marking, inspection, or quality standards are detailed, the use of the NSN and CAGE code suggests implicit compliance with standard Department of Defense identification and logistical protocols. No socioeconomic certifications, size status, COR/COTR details, payment office information, invoicing method, or evaluation methodology are explicitly stated, with the award likely based on a straightforward procurement under a commercial item framework.
