STRINGER, AIRCRAFT

The contract SPE4A726P5097, awarded on July 21, 2026, by the Defense Logistics Agency to Lobo Ventures Ltd. (CAGE 1HC54), is for the procurement of aircraft stringers and a Government First Article Test, with a total value of $56,000.00. The work is to be performed at the contractor’s location in San Antonio, Texas, and is tied to solicitation SPE4A1-25-T-5916 under NAICS code 336413 for Aircraft Stringer Manufacturing. The contract includes a critical compliance requirement under FAR 52.222-90, implemented through DoD Class Deviation 2026-00040 Revision 1, which prohibits racially discriminatory diversity, equity, and inclusion practices and mandates that the contractor enforce this prohibition throughout all subcontracts performed within the United States. The contractor must actively monitor subcontractor compliance, report violations, provide access to records, and cooperate with government investigations, with noncompliance potentially leading to contract termination or debarment. While the contract specifies the delivery of two items—aircraft stringers identified by NSN 1560009626688 and a Government First Article Test under NSN 0001S00000052—no detailed technical specifications, quality standards, packaging, preservation, or marking requirements are outlined in the available documentation, suggesting adherence to standard DoD practices without formalized MIL-STD citations. The contracting officer is Dean Allen of DLA Aviation, with no designated COR or COTR identified; payment and invoicing details, accounting appropriation data, and contract type are not specified, and no evaluation factors, source selection methodology, or delivery schedule are provided. The contract modification P00001, dated January 9, 2026, is effective as of the award date, and formal acknowledgment of amendments is required via signed document, written letter, or electronic communication referencing the solicitation number. The absence of explicit shipping terms, inspection criteria, delivery window, or socioeconomic status certification leaves several operational details to be determined by standard government procurement practices or external technical documents not included in the publicly available records.
