TOOLING

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded a modification to Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation under contract SPE4A525F4960, a delivery order issued against the master IDIQ contract SPE4A122G0005, to procure tooling and an access cover with national stock numbers 0001S00000054 and 5340016047180 respectively, for a total contract value of $366,282.60. The award was issued on July 20, 2026, following a solicitation numbered SPE4A5-25-T-1885, and the work is categorized under NAICS code 333514 for aircraft engine and engine parts manufacturing. Performance is centered at Sikorsky’s facility in Stratford, Connecticut, with the delivery schedule extended to December 31, 2026, for both line items, accommodating delays in tooling development. The modification was administratively processed under FAR 43.203(b) and PAR 5498810, reflecting a strategic supplier alliance established in 2010 that allows for streamlined procurement without standard consideration, and early or partial deliveries are permitted. The contract operates under a fixed-price structure, though not formally stated, with no option quantities, price adjustments, or changes to scope or quantity from original terms. Inspection and acceptance authority rests with the Government, administered through DCMA Vertical Lift Stratford, and while the National Stock Numbers provide traceability, no specific packaging, marking, or quality inspection standards are formally documented. The awardee’s CAGE code is 78286, and no socioeconomic certifications, size status declarations, or affirmative representations are indicated, reflecting a procurement decision based on established partnerships rather than set-aside programs. All contractual administration, including award and modification execution, is managed through DLA Aviation’s Aviation Supply Chain office in Richmond, Virginia, with no additional clauses, attachments, or special requirements beyond the delivery schedule extension and strategic alliance provision.
