PANEL, STRUCTURAL, AI

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded Bell Textron Inc. a contract under delivery order SPRPA121G001W for the supply of one structural panel, NSN 1560-01-603-0159, with a total contract value of $2,469.39. The award, posted on DIBBS and identified by solicitation SPE4A5-25-T-630Y, was made on July 20, 2026, and the item is manufactured at Bell Textron’s facility in Fort Worth, Texas, which also serves as the primary point of performance. The contract reflects a modification, P00001, that extended the original delivery date from January 6, 2027, to June 30, 2027, citing extended supplier lead times and alignment with strategic supplier alliance objectives under PAR 5484194 and FAR 43.203(b). The panel must be marked with the NSN and CAGE code 97499, and barcoded to include the NSN and part number PR 7013232737, though specific packaging standards like MIL-STD are not formally cited, implying compliance with general DoD supply chain practices. Administrative oversight falls to DLA Aviation in Richmond, Virginia, with Brandi Collins serving as the primary contact and Ray Gryder as the contracting officer. No formal evaluation factors, socioeconomic certifications, subcontracting plans, or detailed inspection criteria are documented, and the contract type remains unspecified; however, the single-line-item structure and low value suggest a simplified acquisition. The delivery location, payment procedures, invoicing method, and FOB terms are not explicitly defined, and no attachments, representations, or special requirements such as security clearances or key personnel designations are included in the available records.
