STIFFENER, AIRCRAFT

The U.S. Defense Logistics Agency awarded The Boeing Company, identified by CAGE 0PXV4, a fixed-price delivery order under solicitation SPE4A5-25-T-776B and contract number SPE4A526F2283 for the supply of one aircraft stiffener with NSN 1560016897622, valued at $290,615.40. The award was issued on July 17, 2026, with the underlying contract modification dated December 4, 2025, and performance is expected to be conducted at Boeing’s facility in Hazelwood, Missouri, while oversight and payment are managed by the DLA Aviation office in Richmond, Virginia. The contract does not specify quantities, delivery schedules, FOB terms, or unit pricing details, and no option periods or extended performance windows are indicated. Compliance with FAR 52.222-90, which prohibits federal contractors from implementing diversity, equity, and inclusion programs that discriminate on the basis of race or sex, is mandatory and must be flowed down to all subcontracts unless performed entirely outside the United States, as mandated by DoD Class Deviation 2026-00040, Revision 1, and OMB Guidance M-25-26. The contractor is required to report any subcontractor noncompliance, provide access to records for audit, and implement corrective actions as needed, with potential consequences for noncompliance including contract termination or debarment. The contracting officer for this action is Carl Allen, who is also the point of contact for payment inquiries, although no Contracting Officer’s Representative or technical representative is identified. No specific packaging, preservation, marking, or inspection standards such as MIL-STD-129 or MIL-STD-2073 are cited; acceptance authority rests with the Government, though exact inspection or acceptance locations are not defined. The acquisition appears to be a sole-source delivery order under an existing IDIQ vehicle, with no disclosed evaluation factors, source selection methodology, or socioeconomic set-aside information. Invoicing procedures, accounting codes, and electronic submission platforms such as WAWF are not explicitly stated, and no technical specifications beyond the NSN are provided in the documentation.
