SKIN, AIRCRAFT

The contract awarded to D-J ENGINEERING INC under contract number SPE4A726P4025, issued by the Defense Logistics Agency, is for the procurement of an aircraft skin component and associated Government First Article Test, with a total value of $245,800.00. The award was made on July 17, 2026, following solicitation SPE4A7-25-T-720B, with performance to occur at the contractor’s facility in Augusta, Kansas. The contract includes two line items: one for the aircraft skin identified by NSN 1560016554864 and another for the first article test under NSN 0001S00000052, though specific quantities, unit prices, and delivery schedules are not detailed. The contract is classified under NAICS code 336413 and is administered by DLA Aviation with oversight from DCMA Great Plains, but no information regarding contract type, payment office specifics, invoicing method, or accounting codes is provided beyond the paying office address and point of contact. Special contract requirements are dominated by the incorporation of FAR 52.222-90, Addressing DEI Discrimination by Federal Contractors, as modified by DoD Class Deviation 2026-00040, Revision 1. This clause imposes mandatory obligations on the contractor to avoid racially or ethnically discriminatory DEI practices in hiring and operations, to report any subcontractor noncompliance, to notify the Contracting Officer if a subcontractor challenges the clause, and to flow the clause down to all subcontracts performed within the United States. The contractor must also permit access to records for compliance audits, and adherence is deemed material to payment rights under federal law. No technical specifications, packaging standards (such as MIL-STD-129 or MIL-STD-2073), inspection criteria, quality standards, FOB terms, or delivery timelines are provided in the available documentation. Additionally, while the contractor’s CAGE code is confirmed, no socioeconomic status, UEI, or completed representations and certifications are disclosed, and there is no indication of evaluation factors, award methodology, or contract options. The absence of detailed technical, logistical, or inspection provisions suggests that compliance with the DEI clause constitutes the primary administrative requirement of this contract.
