SUPPORT, STRUCTURAL

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded a fixed-price modification, SPE4A726F2813/P00001, to THE BOEING COMPANY (CAGE 0PXV4) under the master contract SPE4A125G0009 for structural support services identified by NSN 1560012531219, with a total contract value of $27,483.70. The award, issued on July 21, 2026, was processed through solicitation SPE4A5-26-T-2399 and performed at Boeing’s facility in Hazelwood, Missouri. The primary contractual requirement centers on compliance with FAR 52.222-90, “Addressing DEI Discrimination by Federal Contractors,” implemented under Deviation 2026-00040, Revision 1, which prohibits racially discriminatory diversity, equity, and inclusion practices in recruitment, employment, contracting, and program participation. The contractor is obligated to flow this clause down to all subcontracts, report any known violations by subcontractors, and immediately notify the Contracting Officer of any legal challenges to the clause or inability to comply. Noncompliance is considered material under 31 U.S.C. 3729(b)(4), potentially triggering False Claims Act liability. The Contracting Officer is Dean Allen of DLA Aviation, located in Richmond, Virginia, with payment and administrative functions handled by the same office; no Contracting Officer’s Representative or Contracting Officer’s Technical Representative is identified. No specific delivery schedule, inspection location, quality standards, packaging, marking, or preservation requirements are detailed, and no option quantities, accounting codes, or invoicing systems are specified. The contractor’s compliance with the DEI clause serves as the primary performance and acceptance criterion, although no technical specifications, testing protocols, or acceptance criteria beyond regulatory adherence are outlined. The award appears to follow a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable approach, with evaluation factors not formally documented, and no socioeconomic certifications or size status information provided. All contractual obligations are tied to the enforcement of the DEI compliance clause, making regulatory adherence the central driver of this transaction.
