DERCO AEROSPACE, INC. (CAGE 8X044) has been awarded a delivery order under the Defense Logistics Agency’s base contract SPE4AX26DP001 for eight units of STEM, FLUID VALVE (NSN 4820007240979) at a total contract price of $8.00, with each unit priced at $1.00. The award was issued on July 20, 2026, and delivery is required by April 16, 2027, under FOB Origin terms, meaning title and risk transfer to the government upon shipment from the contractor’s facility in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The item is designated for critical application and must comply with multiple DLA-specific technical and packaging standards, including MIL-STD-129 for marking and barcoding, ASTM D3951 for packaging materials, and DLA Master List requirements RP001, RA001, RQ011, RQ017, and RC001, with DLA’s requirements taking precedence over all other standards. The contractor is a certified small business, small disadvantaged business, and women-owned small business, and the order is rated under the Defense Priorities and Allocation System, requiring priority performance and reporting. Inspection and acceptance occur at origin by the government, and payment is processed through the Defense Finance and Accounting Service in Columbus, Ohio, with shipping coordinated through DLA Distribution Jacksonville. The contract contains no standardized FAR clauses, no options, and no formal evaluation factors beyond adherence to technical specifications, indicating a simplified acquisition executed under a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable framework. Administrative oversight is managed by DLA Aviation, with Bobby Hornsby as the Contracting Officer and Ray Gryder serving as a local administrative liaison; no COR or COTR is designated. The underlying contract vehicle is structured as an indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity mechanism, but this specific order is fully priced and fixed.
