VALVE, SOLENOID

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded NORCATEC LLC, with CAGE code 9A148, a firm-fixed-price contract valued at $82,580.30 for the procurement of one solenoid valve identified by NSN 4810013921261 under solicitation SPE4A6-26-T-345Q. The contract was officially awarded on July 21, 2026, and executed as Modification P00001 to the original order dated January 9, 2026, with the performing location designated as the contractor’s address in Garden City, New York. The contract is administered by DLA Aviation in Richmond, Virginia, with Carl Allen serving as the Contracting Officer. While the physical delivery details and FOB terms are unspecified, the contract’s primary focus is not on the technical characteristics of the valve but on the comprehensive compliance obligations tied to FAR clause 52.222-90, Addressing DEI Discrimination by Federal Contractors, incorporating DoD Class Deviation 2026-00040 Revision 1. This clause mandates that the contractor prohibit any racially discriminatory DEI practices in employment and subcontracting, report known violations by subcontractors, notify the Contracting Officer of any legal challenges to the clause, and flow it down to all subcontracts, except those performed entirely outside the United States. Compliance with this provision is deemed material to payment under 31 U.S.C. 3729(b)(4), and the contractor must provide unrestricted access to records upon request. No specific packaging, preservation, marking, inspection, or acceptance standards are detailed beyond referencing the NSN, CAGE code, and contract number for labeling purposes, and no MIL-STDs are cited. The contractor’s unique entity identifier is implied through its CAGE code, but no socioeconomic certifications or size status are explicitly declared. The solicitation does not disclose the selection methodology, evaluation factors, or weights used to award the contract, and no attachments or additional specifications are formally listed. Payment must be processed through DLA Aviation’s designated office in Richmond, though remittance details are not included. All contract administration and communications are handled electronically, primarily through DIBBS and email correspondence with the Contracting Officer.
