The Defense Logistics Agency awarded contract SPE4A726P2785 to NOR RAL INC, with a total value of $51,780.00, effective July 17, 2026, under solicitation SPE4A7-25-T-629M. The contract encompasses two line items: the procurement of a TAIL CONE TIP, AIRCR identified by NSN 1560014301124 and the completion of a Government First Article Test identified by NSN 0001S00000052. The awardee, identified by CAGE code 3K227, is based in Canton, GA, and the administrative oversight is managed by DLA Aviation’s ASC Commodities Division in Richmond, VA, with Dean Allen serving as the Contracting Officer and CARL.ALLEN@DLA.MIL as the primary point of contact. While the contract does not specify delivery schedules, FOB terms, or detailed inspection locations, it incorporates mandatory regulatory compliance through FAR 52.222-90, which prohibits racially discriminatory practices in employment-related DEI programs and requires the contractor to report violations by subcontractors. This clause, implemented via Deviation 2026-00040, Revision 1, applies to all subcontracts and imposes ongoing reporting obligations, aligned with OMB Memorandum M-25-26 and recent Executive Orders. No packaging, marking, or preservation standards are specified, and no technical specifications for the part are provided. The contract type, quantity, unit pricing, and delivery details remain unstated, and no COR/COTR is identified. The award reflects a modification under FAR 43.203(b) for administrative purposes only, with no changes to the scope, performance requirements, or value. No socioeconomic certifications, security clearances, options, or OCI provisions are included, and the sole substantive requirement centers on compliance with the DEI anti-discrimination clause.
