SHORT SHAFT ASSY

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded Bell Textron Inc. a delivery order under the contract vehicle SPRPA121G001W for a single short shaft assembly, identified by NSN/Part 1615012357920, at a total price of $155,056.50, with the award issued on July 21, 2026. Performance is set to occur at Bell Textron’s facility in Fort Worth, Texas, and the solicitation number is SPE4A5-26-T-8188. The contract incorporates FAR clause 52.222-90, Addressing DEI Discrimination by Federal Contractors, issued under DoD Class Deviation 2026-00040, Revision 1, which mandates strict compliance with non-discriminatory DEI practices, requires flowdown to all applicable subcontracts (excluding those performed outside the United States), and obligates the contractor to report any known violations by subcontractors or legal challenges to the clause. The clause is material to contract performance under 31 U.S.C. § 3729(b)(4), and noncompliance can jeopardize payment eligibility. The contract administration is managed by DLA Aviation’s ASC Supplier Operations OEM Division in Richmond, Virginia, with Dean Allen serving as the Contracting Officer and Carl Allen as the point of contact for payment and correspondence. No Contracting Officer’s Representative or technical representative is named, and no detailed inspection, acceptance, packaging, preservation, or labeling standards are specified in the available documentation. The NAICS code 332721 applies, indicating aircraft engine and engine parts manufacturing, but no socioeconomic status, size certification, or small business designation is disclosed. Payment office details are provided, though no remittance or invoicing system is identified, and no accounting or appropriation data such as AAC, TAS, or ACRN are populated. There are no options, indefinite-delivery terms, or performance timelines specified, and no references to MIL-STDs or technical drawings are included, suggesting that detailed specifications may reside in an external continuation sheet not provided. The contract appears to be an administrative action primarily focused on DEI compliance enforcement, with no additional security, personnel, or OCI requirements noted.
