WINDOW PANEL, AIRCRA

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded PPG Industries, Inc. a contract valued at $48,543.00 under solicitation SPE4A726P3759, with an award date of July 17, 2026, for the supply of two aircraft window panels identified by NSN/Part Number 1560000662902. Performance is to occur at the contractor’s location in Huntsville, Alabama, and the contract was issued as a modification to an original order dated December 16, 2025. The contract does not specify a definitive period of performance, delivery schedule, FOB terms, or quantities beyond the two line items, with one priced at full value and the other listed at zero. The primary focus of the contract lies not in technical specifications for the window panels but in the inclusion of FAR 52.222-90, addressing DEI discrimination by federal contractors, which was added via a Department of Defense class deviation. This clause mandates that the contractor prohibit any racially or ideologically discriminatory DEI practices, flow the requirement down to all U.S.-based subcontractors, report known violations by subcontractors within ten business days, and allow the government access to records to verify compliance. Non-compliance is deemed material to payment under the False Claims Act. No specific packaging, preservation, or marking standards such as MIL-STD-129, MIL-STD-130, or MIL-STD-2073 are cited, nor are inspection criteria, acceptance locations, or quality standards detailed. Payment and invoicing details, including the remit-to address, accounting codes, and invoicing system, are not provided, while the contracting officer is identified as Dean Allen, with contact information provided through DLA Aviation in Richmond, Virginia. The contractor’s CAGE code is 53117 and a Unique Entity ID is implied but not explicitly stated. No socioeconomic certifications, size status, or otherrepresentations are documented, and no attachments or evaluation factors are referenced in the available records. The contract lacks technical performance specifications beyond the part number and is governed primarily by the administrative and compliance obligations tied to the DEI clause.
