SENSING ELEMENT, FIR

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded S3 AERODEFENSE LLC a contract valued at $46,485.00 for the supply of a Sensing Element, FIR (NSN 6340-01-471-2592, PR 7009616138) under solicitation SPE4A6-25-T-4341, with the award issued on July 15, 2026. The contract is administered through DLA Aviation’s ASC Commodities Division in Richmond, Virginia, with Jonathan Ryan as the initiating point of contact and Ashley Byrne serving as the contracting officer. The original delivery date of July 14, 2026, was modified to December 29, 2026, due to material shortages impacting the original equipment manufacturer’s timeline, as documented in vendor specification PAR 5490586 dated July 2, 2026. The contract modification is governed under FAR 43.103(b), and the NAICS code 334511 classifies the procurement within the electronic tube manufacturing sector. The contractor’s CAGE code is 4GPC1, and the place of performance is likely at the contractor’s facility in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, though the final delivery destination is unspecified. No detailed packaging, inspection, or acceptance criteria are explicitly outlined in the available documentation, though compliance with MIL-STD-129 and MIL-STD-2073 is implied due to the defense context and NSN item designation. The invoicing method, payment office details, and accounting data such as TAS or ACRN are not provided, nor is the contract type explicitly stated. While the contract includes no options, special requirements, or security clearance obligations, it is presumed that standard FAR and DFARS compliance applies. Evaluation factors and socioeconomic certifications were not disclosed, and the basis for award is not articulated, though the low-dollar value suggests a possible LPTA approach. No COR or COTR is identified in the records, and the representation and certification section lacks confirmed responses from the contractor. References to a continuation sheet and vendor specification indicate additional documentation exists but is not accessible in this record, leaving certain technical, administrative, and logistical details unverified.
