STEM, FLUID VALVE

The U.S. Defense Logistics Agency awarded a delivery order under contract SPE4A122G0004 to Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation for the procurement of a STEM, FLUID VALVE identified by NSN 4820014895542, with a total contract value of $102,280. The award was issued on July 21, 2026, under solicitation SPE4A5-26-T-3013, with performance to occur at the contractor’s facility in Sunnyvale, California. The contract is governed by the revised FAR clause 52.222-90, which implements a federal deviation requiring strict adherence to non-discriminatory Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion practices—prohibiting any race-based or ethnically discriminatory DEI activities in employment, contracting, or program participation. The contractor must flow this requirement down to all U.S.-based subcontractors, report violations by subcontractors, provide access to records upon request, and notify the government if any subcontractor legally challenges the clause’s application. Although no explicit technical specifications, inspection criteria, or packaging standards are detailed, the presence of the NSN implies compliance with standard Department of Defense labeling and preservation practices. The place of performance is clearly defined, but delivery schedules, FOB terms, inspection locations, and acceptance protocols are unspecified. The procurement office for DLA Aviation in Richmond, Virginia, manages the contract with Dean Allen serving as the Procuring Contracting Officer, while no Contracting Officer’s Representative or Technical Representative is named. Payment details, invoicing methods such as WAWF, and accounting appropriation data (AAC, TAS, ACRN) are not provided, and no documentation evidences small business certifications, socioeconomic status, or option quantities. The contract includes no attachments and lacks explicit references to MIL-STDs or quality inspection standards, though general DoD procurement norms are presumed to apply.
