RING, RETAINING

The contract, awarded by the Defense Logistics Agency to ASRC Federal Facilities Logistics, LLC (CAGE 79343), is for the procurement of a single item: a retaining ring identified by NSN 5325-01-193-2907, with a total contract value of $23,763.04. The award was issued on July 21, 2026, under solicitation SPE4A6-25-T-40QU and contract modification SPE4A626V5285, with an effective date of December 16, 2025. Performance is to be conducted at the contractor’s location in Fairfield, New Jersey, and the supplying activity is DLA Aviation based in Richmond, Virginia. The Contracting Officer, Dean Allen, is responsible for administration and payment, though no Contracting Officer’s Technical Representative is identified. The contract includes the incorporation of FAR 52.222-90, Addressing DEI Discrimination by Federal Contractors, under DoD Class Deviation 2026-00040, which imposes mandatory compliance obligations on the contractor and requires flow-down to subcontractors above the simplified acquisition threshold. The contractor must report any known violations by subcontractors and notify the government of any legal challenges to the clause. While the contract specifies the item and total cost, it provides no details on quantity, unit price, delivery schedule, FOB terms, or packaging and marking requirements, and no MIL-STD or technical specifications are referenced. Inspection and acceptance responsibilities rest with the government, though no formal criteria or locations are outlined. The contract contains no enumerated attachments, and no evaluation factors or award methodology are documented, though the low-dollar value suggests a possible LPTA approach. Affirmative representations by the contractor are limited to compliance with DEI-related prohibitions, with no stated size status or socioeconomic certifications. Payment details, invoicing systems, and accounting data such as TAS or ACRN are not specified, though standard DoD electronic systems like WAWF are likely used.
