TUBE, BLEED AIR

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded S3 AERODEFENSE LLC, with CAGE code 4GPC1, a firm-fixed-price contract totaling $68,200 for the supply of two line items of TUBE, BLEED AIR under NSN 1560007282260, identified by procurement identifiers PR 7013003655 and PR 7014217786. The award was issued on July 21, 2026, as a modification to an existing contract under solicitation SPE4A726P5513, referencing Standard Form 30 and a Continuation Sheet that includes the newly incorporated FAR clause 52.222-90, Addressing DEI Discrimination by Federal Contractors, under Deviation 2026-00040, Revision 1. This clause mandates that the contractor prohibit racially discriminatory practices in any DEI-related activities, require flow-down to all applicable subcontracts performed within the United States, report subcontractor violations or legal challenges to the Contracting Officer, and acknowledge that compliance is material to payment obligations under 31 U.S.C. 3729(b)(4). The contractor is located in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and all performance is restricted to U.S.-based operations. Although specific quantities, unit prices, delivery schedules, FOB terms, and inspection criteria are not detailed, the contract is structured as a direct supply action for a commercial aerospace component, with the award likely made under a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable methodology given the low value and standard nature of the item. The paying office is DLA Aviation in Richmond, Virginia, with Carl Allen listed as the point of contact and Dean Allen designated as the Contracting Officer; however, no Contracting Officer’s Representative is identified. No packaging standards, quality inspection specifications, or socioeconomic certifications are explicitly cited, and while accounting data and invoicing methods are referenced in placeholder form, no specifics are populated. The contract lacks detailed evaluation factors or options, and no attachments are formally listed, with compliance obligations centered entirely on the DEI clause and general FAR/DFARS adherence.
