The Defense Logistics Agency awarded contract SPE4A726P5232 to AEROSPACE & COMMERCIAL TECHNOLOGIES (CAGE 1XKR3) for $273,286.08 to procure a structural plate (NSN 1560010814116) and conduct a government first article test (NSN 0001S00000052), with performance occurring at the contractor’s facility in Fort Worth, Texas. The award was made under solicitation SPE4A7-25-T-796F, which closed for responses on September 4, 2025, and the contract was formally issued on July 21, 2026, via modification P00001 to an existing agreement. The contract type is not explicitly stated, but the pricing structure is fixed, and no options or extensions are indicated. The delivery and performance location is within the United States, and while FOB terms are not specified, the place of performance is clearly defined. Contract administration is managed by DLA Aviation in Richmond, Virginia, with Carl Allen serving as the Contracting Officer, though no Contracting Officer’s Representative or technical monitor is identified. The contract incorporates FAR 52.222-90, Addressing DEI Discrimination by Federal Contractors, effective April 2026, with a deviation (2026-00040) mandating flow-down of this clause to all subcontractors, requiring the contractor to report compliance, notify the government of any legal challenges involving subcontractors, and provide documentation upon request. No other performance specifications, packaging, preservation, or marking standards are detailed, and no MIL-STD references are provided despite the defense context. Inspection and acceptance responsibilities rest with the government, though specific criteria or locations are not defined beyond the general performance site. No evaluation factors, source selection methodology, or socioeconomic certifications (e.g., small business, 8(a), HUBZone) are listed, and while the NAICS code 332312 applies, no size status is certified. The contractor must comply with reporting obligations under the DEI clause and adhere to the SF-30 amendment format, but no invoicing details, payment instructions beyond the DLA Aviation office, or accounting appropriation data (AAC/TAS/ACRN) are included in the documentation.
