PLATE, STRUCTURAL, AI

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded Contract SPE4A526P1850 to THE HANDY TOOL & MFG. CO., INC. (CAGE 91750) on July 17, 2026, for the procurement of one structural plate component identified by NSN 1560011987430, with a total contract value of $108,000. The solicitation number is SPE4A5-25-T-446D, and the contract was issued as a modification under FAR 43.103(b) and 43.203(b), indicating an administrative adjustment to an existing agreement. Performance is required at the contractor’s location in Brooklyn, New York, with contract administration handled by DCMA Northeast at Hanscom Air Force Base, Massachusetts. The contracting officer, Dean Allen, is located at DLA Aviation in Richmond, Virginia, and the award was made without a specified small business set-aside or socioeconomic designation, though the NAICS code 332312 applies. The contract includes the mandatory clause FAR 52.222-90, implemented under a Department of Defense deviation, which prohibits race-based discrimination in DEI programs and requires the contractor to flow this obligation down to all domestic subcontracts, monitor compliance, report violations, and provide access to records for government review. Noncompliance may trigger False Claims Act liability. No detailed specifications, inspection criteria, packaging standards, barcoding requirements, or delivery schedules were provided in the documentation, nor were FOB terms, invoicing methods, or payment office details specified. The absence of an evaluation factors section, attachments, or quantitative delivery information suggests the award was administratively processed with minimal technical detail beyond the core deliverable and regulatory compliance. The only documented financial and contractual obligation centers on receipt of the NSN-listed part and adherence to the DEI compliance requirements, with no options, extensions, or additional line items identified.
