RIVET, BLIND

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded Contract SPE4A726P3502 to STATZ CORP with a total value of $284,532.72 on July 17, 2026, under solicitation SPE4A7-26-T-3280, which was structured as a Total Small Business Set-Aside under FAR 19.5. The contract covers the supply of a single line item, RIVET, BLIND (NSN 5320010846090), with performance to be completed at the contractor’s facility in Middleton, Wisconsin. The award was made under a firm-fixed-price arrangement, though the specific contract type is not formally designated in the documentation. All work must comply with FAR 52.222-90, which prohibits racially or ethnically discriminatory diversity, equity, and inclusion practices in employment and contracting, a requirement enforced through DoD Class Deviation 2026-00040, Revision 1, and tied to Executive Orders 14275, 14265, and 14398. Compliance with this clause is deemed material to payment, and violations may trigger False Claims Act liability, contract termination, suspension, or future ineligibility. The contractor must flow down the clause to all subcontracts performed within the United States and report any known violations by subcontractors, including any legal challenges to the clause. The contracting officer, Dean Allen of DLA Aviation’s ASC Commodities Division, retains oversight, with contract administration managed by DCMA Great Lakes, though no assigned COR or COTR are identified. No detailed technical specifications, packaging, preservation, labeling, or inspection criteria are provided beyond general adherence to FAR and DFARS. The contract contains no options, extended delivery schedules, or billing instructions, and no accounting or appropriation data such as AAC, TAS, or ACRN are listed. The CAGE code 3WGD1 confirms the awardee’s status as a small business, but no formal socioeconomic certifications or representations are documented in Section K. The award notice cites DIBBS as the source and provides the official point of contact for correspondence, but no attachments, evaluation factors, or basis for award are disclosed, indicating minimal transparency in the procurement methodology beyond the set-aside structure.
