A&M Aerostuctures, Inc. has been awarded a contract under solicitation SPE4A7-26-T-5778 by the Defense Logistics Agency, with an award date of July 21, 2026, for the supply of a suppressor, surge with NSN 1680000730841. The contract is administered through DLA Aviation in Richmond, Virginia, with the primary place of performance located at the contractor’s facility in Jacksonville, Florida. Although the total contract price is not specified in the available data, the scope of work centers on compliance with the federal requirement outlined in FAR 52.222-90, which prohibits racially discriminatory Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion practices in employment, subcontracting, and program participation. The contractor is mandated to incorporate this clause into all applicable subcontracts, report any subcontractor noncompliance or legal challenges, and certify that adherence to the clause is material to payment eligibility under 31 U.S.C. 3729(b)(4). The contract includes a deviation authority under 2026-00040 and requires immediate written notice if the contractor cannot comply. No technical specifications, packaging, marking, or inspection criteria for the suppressor itself are provided; administrative oversight, including compliance monitoring, is handled by the Contracting Officer and DCMA Southeast in Orlando, Florida. Payment and invoicing details, including the paying office and method, are not specified, nor are any funding codes, delivery schedules, or FOB terms documented. While the Unique Entity ID and CAGE code for the contractor are referenced indirectly through facility and contract identifiers, no affirmations of small business status, socioeconomic certifications, or detailed evaluation factors for award were included in the contract documentation, indicating that award was likely based on administrative or compliance criteria rather than technical or price competition. The contract modification P00001 was effective January 22, 2026, and signed on July 21, 2026, with the point of contact for administrative matters being Amber Wells at DLA.
