The Defense Logistics Agency awarded Essex Industries, Inc. a contract valued at $52,534.30 for a single unit of a liquid storage tank identified by NSN 3655011004456, with the award issued on July 17, 2026 under solicitation SPE4A7-26-T-3884 and contract number SPE4A726V1135. Performance is to occur at the contractor’s facility in Saint Louis, Missouri, and the contract is administered by the DLA Aviation office in Richmond, Virginia, with Dean Allen serving as the contracting officer. The contract incorporates a single clause, FAR 52.222-90, addressing DEI discrimination, implemented under DoD Class Deviation 2026-00040, which requires the contractor to avoid racially discriminatory diversity, equity, and inclusion practices, flow the clause down to all subcontractors, report any subcontractor noncompliance, and notify the contracting officer if legal challenges arise against the clause. No other contract clauses, technical specifications, packaging, preservation, or marking requirements are explicitly detailed; however, the item’s nature as a liquid storage tank implies potential applicability of standard military standards such as MIL-STD-129 and MIL-STD-2073, though none are formally cited. The contract contains no stated period of performance, delivery schedule, FOB terms, or inspection and acceptance criteria beyond general references to government authority and contractor compliance. The contractor holds a CAGE code of 19062 but has not disclosed its size status or socioeconomic certifications. Invoicing methods, payment office details, accounting codes, and COR/COTR information are not provided in the documentation, and no attachments, evaluation factors, or special requirements beyond the DEI clause are listed. The contract is a single-line-item modification with no options, extended pricing, or variable quantities.
