VALVE, SOLENOID

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded a delivery order under contract SPE4A124G0043 to AAR SUPPLY CHAIN, INC, with a total contract value of $655,348.51, effective July 21, 2026. The award stems from solicitation SPE7MC-25-Q-0172 and is a total small business set-aside under FAR 19.5, with the contractor identified by CAGE code 1Y249. The sole line item involves the procurement of a solenoid valve (NSN 4810013972299, PR 7005279656), though quantity and unit pricing details are not specified. Performance is centered at the contractor’s facility in Wood Dale, Illinois, and the contract was issued as a modification to an existing award dated February 9, 2026, under contract number SPE7MC26F0019. The contract is administratively managed by DLA Land and Maritime from Columbus, Ohio, with Dean Allen serving as the Contracting Officer. A defining feature of this contract is the inclusion of FAR 52.222-90, Addressing DEI Discrimination by Federal Contractors, applied through DoD Class Deviation 2026-00040, Revision 1. This clause imposes mandatory compliance requirements prohibiting racially discriminatory DEI practices, requiring the contractor to report violations by subcontractors, notify the Contracting Officer of any legal challenges to the clause, and flow the requirement down to all applicable subcontracts. Compliance is deemed material to payment under 31 U.S.C. 3729(b)(4), and the contractor must provide records and access to documents upon request. No technical specifications, packaging standards, inspection criteria, or FOB terms for the solenoid valve are provided in available documentation; the contract’s primary focus is on regulatory compliance rather than technical delivery parameters. Payment and invoicing methods are not explicitly stated, nor are detailed accounting codes or a designated COR/COTR identified. The evaluation methodology, delivery schedule, and acceptance procedures remain unspecified beyond the requirement for adherence to the DEI clause, which governs the contract's performance and payment conditions.
