48--VALVE,BALL

The contract SPE7MC26P1326, issued by the Defense Logistics Agency under solicitation SPE7MC-26-T-3448, awards Jamaica Bearings Co., Inc. (CAGE 04836) a total of $97,840.30 for the procurement of a single item: a ball valve identified by National Stock Number 4820011946688. The award was dated July 15, 2026, and the performance location remains unspecified despite the contractor’s address being in New Hyde Park, New York. The contract does not include detailed delivery schedules, FOB terms, or specific inspection and acceptance criteria beyond the general assumption of government oversight, with Michael Finken listed as the sole point of contact serving as the Contracting Officer. Although the contract value is modest and the item is a commercial off-the-shelf product, the procurement appears to have been processed under a streamlined procedure consistent with low-value, non-complex acquisitions, though the exact selection methodology is not formally stated. A significant contractual requirement is the inclusion of FAR Clause 52.222-90, “Addressing DEI Discrimination by Federal Contractors,” incorporated via deviation 2026-00040, Revision 1, effective April 2026. This clause represents the only unique contractual provision explicitly cited and reflects a recent federal policy alignment. No other clauses, special requirements, packaging specifications, preservation standards, or marking instructions beyond basic identifiers like NSN, CAGE code, and contract number are detailed. The contract lacks explicit information on payment offices, invoicing systems, accounting codes, or evaluation factors, with no evidence of socioeconomic status certifications, size status declarations, or technical specifications beyond the NSN. Deliverables are limited to the single valve item, with no performance metrics, testing protocols, or reporting obligations defined. While DIBBS is referenced as the system for post-award communications, the contract documentation provides minimal administrative or logistical detail, relying on default federal procurement practices for the remaining requirements.
