WEB, STRUCTURAL COMP

The contract awarded to D-J ENGINEERING INC under number SPE4A726P5287, issued by the Defense Logistics Agency through solicitation SPE4A1-25-T-5718, is a fixed-price award totaling $56,700 for the supply of a WEB, STRUCTURAL COMP and a GOVERNMENT FIRST ARTICLE TEST. The award was made on July 21, 2026, with the contractor’s principal place of performance located in Augusta, Kansas. The contract is governed primarily by FAR 52.222-90, “Addressing DEI Discrimination by Federal Contractors,” as modified by DoD Class Deviation 2026-00040, Revision 1, which mandates strict compliance with federal prohibitions against race- or sex-based discrimination in all DEI-related activities, including recruitment, hiring, promotions, and vendor selection. The contractor is required to flow down this clause to all subcontractors unless the work is performed entirely outside the United States and must immediately report any known subcontractor noncompliance to the Contracting Officer. The contractor must also provide full access to records, books, and subcontractor agreements for audit purposes and notify the government if any subcontractor challenges the legality of the clause. The contracting officer, Dean Allen at DLA Aviation, ASC Supplier Operations OEM Division, retains oversight authority, while the DCMA Great Plains office administers contract compliance; however, no Contracting Officer’s Representative or technical representative is listed. The contract does not specify detailed packaging, marking, inspection criteria, FOB terms, or a defined period of performance beyond the award date and original contract issuance date of January 13, 2026. No invoicing method, payment office details, accounting or appropriation data, or socioeconomic certifications are provided, and no formal attachment list or delivery schedule is included. The NAICS code 336413 applies, classifying the work under Aircraft Engine and Engine Parts Manufacturing, but the contractor’s small business status remains unconfirmed. Compliance with this clause is deemed material to payment under 31 U.S.C. 3729(b)(4), exposing the contractor to potential False Claims Act liability for misrepresentation. All administrative changes are executed via Standard Form 30, with modifications referenced but no extended options or performance incentives outlined.
