PIN-RIVET

The contract award SPE4A626P7742, issued by the Defense Logistics Agency under the solicitation SPE4A6-25-T-61H3, is a direct award to B S F International Inc. (CAGE L2519) for the supply of a PIN-RIVET with NSN 5320017179901, at a total contract value of $17,903.70, with an award date of July 17, 2026. The place of performance is specified as the contractor’s location in Pointe-Claire, Quebec, Canada, and the work involves compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation clause FAR 52.222-90, Addressing DEI Discrimination by Federal Contractors, effective April 2026 and implemented under DoD Deviation 2026-00040, Revision 1. This clause imposes strict prohibitions on racially discriminatory diversity, equity, and inclusion practices in recruitment, employment, contracting, and resource allocation, and requires the contractor to report any known violations by subcontractors, flow the clause down to all subcontracts (except those performed outside the U.S.), and provide full access to records upon request. Noncompliance may trigger contract termination, suspension, debarment, or legal action under 31 U.S.C. 3729. The contract is administered by the DLA Aviation, ASC Commodities Division in Richmond, Virginia, with Dean Allen serving as the Contracting Officer and Carl Allen listed as the contact for payment and correspondence, though no Contracting Officer’s Representative or Technical Representative is identified. The contract modification P00001, issued under FAR 43.203(b), amends the original solicitation and incorporates the DEI clause without otherwise specifying the contract type, payment system, invoicing method, accounting data, FOB terms, or detailed delivery schedule. No packaging, inspection, or technical specifications are provided, and while the NAICS code 332722 confirms the contractor’s classification as a fastener manufacturer, no socioeconomic certifications, small business status, or Unique Entity ID are documented. The absence of standard contract elements such as evaluation factors, deliverables, quality standards, or option clauses indicates this is a narrowly focused, compliance-driven award centered on regulatory adherence rather than technical performance or procurement of physical goods with detailed specifications.
