SKIN, AIRCRAFT

The contract awarded to APEX PINNACLE CORP under contract number SPE4A726P5112, issued by the Defense Logistics Agency on July 21, 2026, is a firm-fixed-price modification valued at $22,680.00 for the supply of aircraft skin components and a government first article test sample. The line items are identified by NSNs 1560015387981 and 0001S00000052, with performance taking place at the contractor’s facility in Binghamton, New York, and oversight administered by DCMA Northeast at Hanscom Air Force Base, Massachusetts. The contract requires compliance with FAR 52.222-90, implemented through DoD Class Deviation 2026-00040, which prohibits any racially discriminatory diversity, equity, and inclusion practices in employment and mandates that contractors report violations by subcontractors, furnish records upon request, and notify the contracting officer of any legal challenges to the clause. While the total contract amount and delivery scope are clearly defined, detailed specifications for packaging, preservation, marking, or technical standards such as MIL-STD are not provided, and no inspection criteria or quality assurance metrics are enumerated beyond the requirement for government first article testing. The contract references no option quantities, extended performance periods, or socioeconomic categorizations, and while the issuing office is listed as DLA Aviation in Richmond, Virginia, with Carl Allen designated as the point of contact, no contracting officer’s representative or technical representative is named. Payment instructions, accounting codes, invoicing procedures, and delivery terms including FOB conditions are not specified, and the award appears to be based on a low-risk, straightforward procurement likely following a lowest price technically acceptable approach, though the formal evaluation methodology is not documented. The contract is administered under the standard FAR framework with no additional special requirements beyond the DEI compliance clause, and all obligations flow directly to the contractor without indication of subcontracting activity beyond the required flow-down of the clause.
