PUMP, FUEL, JET ENGIN

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded Contract SPE4A726P2974 to AeroControlex Group, Inc. (CAGE 98889) on July 17, 2026, for the supply of a fuel pump for jet engines, identified by NSN 2915014635076, with a total contract value of $344,214.00. The solicitation, SPE4A7-26-Q-0063, was issued under NAICS code 333996 for other general purpose machinery manufacturing, and performance is to occur at the contractor’s facility in Painesville, Ohio. The contract was issued as a modification, P00001, with an effective date of July 17, 2026, though the original signing date on the form was November 24, 2025. The contract does not specify quantities, delivery dates, unit pricing, or FOB terms, and no option periods or extended performance timelines are identified; the award appears to be for a single delivery under a fixed-price structure consistent with DLA’s typical approach for commercial items. Contract administration is managed by DLA Aviation in Richmond, Virginia, with oversight from the Defense Contract Management Agency office in Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio, though no Contracting Officer’s Representative is named. A defining feature of this contract is its inclusion of FAR clause 52.222-90, “Addressing DEI Discrimination by Federal Contractors,” implemented through DoD Class Deviation 2026-00040, Revision 1, effective April 2026. This clause prohibits contractors and their subcontractors from engaging in race-based or racially discriminatory diversity, equity, and inclusion practices in employment or contracting activities, and mandates that subcontractors be bound by the same requirement. The contractor must monitor subcontractor compliance, report known violations to the Contracting Officer, and notify the government if a subcontractor challenges the clause legally. Noncompliance is deemed material to payment under the False Claims Act, exposing the contractor to potential liability. No other contract clauses, packaging, preservation, or marking standards, inspection criteria, or technical specifications are explicitly included in the documentation, nor are socioeconomic certifications, small business status, or unique entity identifiers provided. The contracting officer, Dean Allen, is the sole point of contact listed,
