TRANSFORMER ASSEMBL

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded contract SPE4A526P1621 to Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation on July 17, 2026, for the procurement of a Transformer Assembly identified by NSN 6120015460852, with a total contract value of $174,287.00. The award was made under solicitation SPE4A5-25-T-5229, and the performance location is confirmed as Northrop Grumman’s facility at 7301 Sykesville Rd, Sykesville, MD. The contract was issued as a modification to an existing agreement under FAR 43.203(b), incorporating the newly effective FAR 52.222-90 clause addressing DEI discrimination by federal contractors, implemented via DoD Class Deviation 2026-00040, Revision 1. This clause mandates that the contractor prohibit racially discriminatory DEI practices, ensure subcontractor compliance, report any known subcontractor violations, and provide access to records for government review, with noncompliance subject to False Claims Act liability. The contract does not specify delivery timelines, FOB terms, or detailed technical performance specifications beyond the item’s identification, and no formal inspection or acceptance location is stated, though compliance with federal defense logistics standards such as MIL-STD-129 and MIL-STD-2073 is implied through the use of NSN and CAGE code 04804. The Defense Logistics Agency’s Aviation division in Richmond, VA, serves as the contracting office, with Dean Allen listed as the Contracting Officer and CARL.ALLEN@DLA.MIL as the point of contact; no Contracting Officer’s Representative is named. The contractor is deemed other than small based on its identity as a major defense prime, and while a Unique Entity Identifier is inferred through the CAGE code, no socioeconomic certifications are claimed. No formal line-item pricing details, option periods, security clearance requirements, or key personnel provisions are included, and the contract does not reference electronic invoicing systems or exact payment office details beyond the administrative office location. The absence of detailed packaging instructions, inspection criteria, or evaluation factors indicates this contract relies on administrative compliance and existing defense logistics frameworks rather than detailed technical or performance specifications.
