STARTER, MOTOR

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded Contract SPE7M126P3914 to Carolina Power Systems of Sumter Inc. (CAGE 6Z538) on July 14, 2026, for the procurement of a single item: a starter motor identified by NSN 6110015033547, with a total contract value of $93,974.64. The award was issued as a unilateral modification under FAR 13.302(a) following solicitation SPE7M1-26-T-0280, with no option quantities or extended pricing terms disclosed. The place of performance is the contractor’s facility at 551 N Pike E, Sumter, SC, and the contract is administered by DLA Land and Maritime in Columbus, Ohio. The contracting officer is Kelly Drees, with no designated COR or COTR identified. The contract includes the FAR clause 52.222-90, Addressing DEI Discrimination by Federal Contractors, incorporated by deviation 2026-00040, Revision 1, which prohibits discriminatory DEI practices. No specific inspection criteria, quality standards, packaging specifications, or marking requirements beyond the NSN and CAGE code are detailed, and the absence of a continuation sheet prevents full disclosure of technical, packaging, or inspection requirements. The NAICS code 335312 suggests the item falls under electric lamp bulbs and parts, although the starter motor is a motor-driven component. Payment details, invoicing method, and accounting data such as TAS or ACRN lines are not provided, and while the contract appears to be a firm-fixed-price award, the type is not explicitly stated. The award likely resulted from a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable sourcing method due to the commercial nature of the item and modest value, though this is not formally documented. No socioeconomic certifications, size status information, or affirmative representations beyond the DEI clause are included, and no bar-coding, MIL-STD, or delivery terms such as FOB are specified. All post-award communications are managed through DIBBS, but submission procedures and proposal formats for the original solicitation remain undisclosed.
