STRAINER

The U.S. Department of Defense, through the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Land and Maritime, awarded Contract SPE7M425P1855 to U.S.A. SPARES INC. (CAGE 1UF60) on July 15, 2026, for a total value of $358,380.00 in response to Solicitation SPE7M4-24-Q-0908. The contract covers the supply of a single line item: a STRAINER identified by National Stock Number 4730011157477. Contract performance is associated with the contractor’s location in Carlisle, Pennsylvania, and administrative oversight is managed by DLA’s office in Columbus, Ohio, with Michael Finken serving as the contracting officer. The award was made through a modification of an existing contract, issued under the unilateral authority of FAR 13.302(a), and includes the mandatory clause FAR 52.222-90, which prohibits federal contractors from implementing diversity, equity, and inclusion training or policies that classify individuals based on race, sex, or other protected characteristics. While the contract confirms the total price and basic item description, it lacks detailed specifications for delivery schedules, quantities, unit pricing, inspection criteria, packaging requirements, or acceptance procedures. The place of performance and FOB terms are not explicitly defined, and although NSN 4730011157477 and CAGE 1UF60 must be included on labels, specific marking, packaging, or barcoding standards are not cited. No information is available regarding payment office details, invoicing systems, accounting codes, or contracting officer’s representatives. The solicitation did not include socioeconomic set-asides or size status certifications, and while the contractor’s acceptance is documented, no representations beyond the required DEI clause are evident. The absence of critical sections such as the Statement of Work, Evaluation Factors, and Attachment J prevents full clarity on technical expectations or evaluation methodology, and reference to a continuation sheet further indicates that significant provisions may remain undisclosed.
