SUPPORT, STRUCTURAL

The contract SPE4A726P5593, awarded by the Defense Logistics Agency to LOBO VENTURES LTD (CAGE 1HC54) on July 21, 2026, is a $21,000 award for structural support services under solicitation SPE4A7-26-T-1931. The primary performance location is the contractor’s facility in San Antonio, Texas, with contract administration handled by DLA Aviation in Richmond, Virginia, and oversight by DCMA SOUTH in Madison, Alabama. The contracting officer is Dean Allen, who also serves as the point of contact for payment and contract matters. Although the line item describes “SUPPORT, STRUCTURAL” with NSN 1560010230605, the contract’s essential focus is not on physical delivery or technical specifications but on compliance with federal mandates prohibiting racially discriminatory Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion activities. This requirement is enforced through the incorporation of FAR 52.222-90, modified by DoD Class Deviation 2026-00040, Revision 1, which aligns with Executive Orders 14275, 14265, 14398, and OMB Memorandum M-25-26. The contractor must flow this clause down to all subcontracts performed within the United States, report any known violations by subcontractors, furnish compliance documentation upon request, and notify the contracting officer if litigation is initiated against the clause. No packaging, marking, inspection criteria, or delivery schedules are specified beyond the domestic performance location. The contract does not include attachments, socioeconomic certifications, or defined payment or invoicing methods, and there is no stated COR or COTR. The award value is fixed with no option periods identified, and no evaluation factors or basis of award are documented, though the low dollar value suggests a possible LPTA approach. The contracting officer must be notified if the contractor declines the modification or is noncompliant, with compliance deemed material to payment obligation under federal statute.
