PIN, QUICK RELEASE

The contract awarded to Defense Support Services, Inc. (CAGE 1L3U4) under solicitation SPE4A6-25-T-29H0 and contract number SPE4A626PC181 is for the procurement of a single line item: PIN, QUICK RELEASE (NSN 5315010103736), with a total awarded value of $59,338.62. The contract was awarded on July 21, 2026, and performance is to be conducted at the contractor’s facility located at 3212 BISHOP DR STE 100, ARLINGTON, TX 76010-5326. The procuring agency is the Defense Logistics Agency, specifically through its Aviation division, with Carl Allen serving as the Contracting Officer. While the contract does not specify quantity, unit price, delivery schedule, or FOB terms, the delivery is expected to be made as required with no stated options or indefinite-delivery elements. The primary contractual requirement centers on compliance with FAR 52.222-90, Addressing DEI Discrimination by Federal Contractors, implemented via DoD Class Deviation 2026-00040, which mandates that the contractor refrain from race-based discriminatory practices in employment or subcontracting and requires flowdown of this clause to all applicable subcontracts. The contractor must report any known subcontractor violations, preserve records for inspection, and notify the Contracting Officer of any legal challenges to the clause’s enforceability. No packaging, preservation, or marking specifications are detailed beyond general adherence to federal standards, and no specific inspection criteria, quality standards, or technical specifications are provided for the pin itself beyond its NSN. The contracting office is responsible for acceptance, which is implied to occur at the place of performance, and invoicing details are not specified. The contract contains no mention of socioeconomic status, small business designation, special clearances, key personnel, or options. The award appears administratively streamlined, reflecting a low-value, single-item procurement with compliance obligations centered on federal DEI regulations rather than complex technical performance requirements.
