49--TESTER,DIESEL FUEL

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded Contract SPE7L526P1181 to CHAND, L.L.C. on July 13, 2026, for a single item: a Diesel Fuel Tester with National Stock Number 4910-01-472-3409, at a total price of $101,088.20. The procurement was conducted under simplified acquisition procedures via Solicitation SPE7L5-26-T-1771 and modified unilaterally on March 2, 2026, to incorporate FAR Clause 52.222-90, Addressing DEI Discrimination by Federal Contractors, under Deviation 2026-00040, Revision 1. The contract, structured as a firm-fixed-price arrangement, requires the contractor to deliver one unit to the government without specified delivery timelines, FOB terms, or location details beyond the awardee’s address in Mathews, Louisiana, and the issuing office in Columbus, Ohio. No detailed packaging, labeling, barcoding, or technical specifications are documented; however, the National Stock Number and CAGE code 0D5X4 confirm integration into federal logistics systems. Contract administration is handled by DLA Land and Maritime, with Kelly Drees as the Contracting Officer, though no Contracting Officer’s Representative or technical point of contact is identified. No formal inspection criteria, quality standards, or acceptance procedures are included in the record, and no funding, accounting, or payment details are provided. The contractor is required to submit a Post-Award Request via DIBBS for any subsequent issues, but no socioeconomic certifications, small business status, or other representational data are confirmed. The absence of a detailed statement of work, evaluation factors, or special requirements beyond the DEI clause suggests this award followed a streamlined acquisition process, likely prioritizing price and administrative compliance over technical complexity.
