The Defense Logistics Agency awarded BAE SYSTEMS LAND & ARMAMENTS L.P. (CAGE 54786) a contract valued at $858,261.76 for the procurement of a vehicular seat identified by NSN 2540016580287 under solicitation SPE7L3-25-Q-0951, with the award issued on July 15, 2026. The contract, modified under SPE7L326P1670, was processed using simplified acquisition procedures pursuant to FAR 13.302(a) and 12.303(a), indicating it qualifies as a commercial item transaction. Performance is expected to originate from the contractor’s facility in Phoenix, Arizona, though the exact delivery or performance location is not designated in the available records. The contracting office is DLA Land and Maritime, Land Supply Chain, based in Columbus, Ohio, with Michael Finken serving as the sole point of contact and contracting officer. The contract incorporates the controversial FAR clause 52.222-90, addressing DEI discrimination by federal contractors, which was added via deviation 2026-00040 revision 1 and represents a significant non-traditional requirement tied to workforce conduct and compliance reporting. Packaging and marking are not explicitly detailed but are understood to align with standard DLA and MIL-STD-129 practices, including NSN-based labeling and traceability requirements, with implied use of UCC-128 barcoding and Data Matrix symbols. No specific inspection criteria, acceptance location, or quality standards are outlined, though government oversight is asserted through the contracting officer’s authority. Payment and invoicing details are incomplete, with no confirmed method such as WAWF or IPP stated, and no accounting codes like AAC, TAS, or ACRN are provided. The contract lacks defined delivery schedules, FOB terms, or period of performance dates, and no formal line-item pricing structure, quantities, or option periods are disclosed. While the awardee’s CAGE code and unique entity identifier are implied, socioeconomic status, small business certification, and other representations under Section K are not certified or documented. The contract modification references a continuation sheet for additional specifications, which remains unprovided, leaving the full scope of work, technical requirements, and testing procedures unspecified.
