The contract covers the production of an aircraft skin component identified by NSN 1560015353780 and the completion of a Government First Article Test (NSN 0001S00000052) to validate conformance before full-scale production. All work is to be performed at the contractor’s facility in Johnson City, New York, with no indication of international performance or overseas delivery. The contract is structured as a firm-fixed-price arrangement, though type is not formally stated, and no option periods, extensions, or IDIQ maximums are included. Pricing details for each line item, including quantities and unit costs, are not disclosed in the available documentation. The contract’s unique requirement is the inclusion of FAR 52.222-90, Addressing DEI Discrimination by Federal Contractors, implemented via DoD Class Deviation 2026-00040, Revision 1, which mandates the contractor to prohibit racially discriminatory DEI practices, flow the clause down to all subcontracts, and report any violations or legal challenges by subcontractors immediately to the contracting officer. No other clauses from Section I are identified, and no packaging, marking, preservation, or technical specifications are detailed in the available material. Inspection and acceptance criteria, delivery schedules, FOB terms, and payment or accounting details are not explicitly defined, though oversight is administered by the DLA Aviation ASC Commodities Division and the DCMA Northeast office at Hanscom AFB. The contracting officer is Dean Allen, with no named COR or COTR assigned. The NAICS code is 336413, indicating aircraft parts and auxiliary equipment manufacturing, but the contractor’s socioeconomic status or small business certifications are not stated. The award notice confirms no attachments or continuation sheets are included in the publicly available data, and no formal evaluation factors or selection methodology are documented, though the low-dollar nature suggests a potential LPTA approach.
