CONTRACTOR FIRST ARTICLE TEST

The contract awarded to TRI-TECHNOLOGIES INC. under contract number SPE7L426P0068, issued by the Defense Logistics Agency through solicitation SPE7L4-25-T-0493, is valued at $249,800 and was awarded on July 13, 2026. The scope centers on two key deliverables: a Contractor First Article Test for NSN/part 0001S00000053 and the provision of a sear assembly identified by NSN/part 1010011336990. Although the full technical specifications and detailed pricing are not disclosed in the available documentation, the contract is structured under a service-based NAICS code 541380, suggesting it falls under scientific and technical consulting services. The contractor is located in Mount Vernon, New York, with government oversight administered by the Defense Contract Management Agency Northeast at Hanscom Air Force Base and payment handled by DLA Land and Maritime in Columbus, Ohio. The Contracting Officer, Kelly Drees, is the sole point of contact specified, with no Contracting Officer’s Representative or technical representative identified. A critical contractual requirement is the inclusion of FAR clause 52.222-90, modified by Deviation 2026-00040 Revision 1, which mandates compliance with federal policies addressing discrimination in employment related to diversity, equity, and inclusion, requiring the contractor to submit annual DEI reports and use DIBBS to report concerns via a Post Award Request process. While the contract references military NSN and CAGE codes consistent with defense logistics standards, explicit packaging, preservation, and marking requirements under MIL-STD-129 or MIL-STD-2073 are not specified in the available documents, leaving those details likely contained in an unprovided technical data package. The period of performance, delivery schedule, and FOB terms are not defined, and no option quantities or extended delivery windows are indicated, suggesting a fixed, non-modular award. Invoicing procedures, accounting appropriation data, and barcoding specifications are also not detailed, though standard DLA practices are expected. The lack of a full evaluation factors section, complete Section B pricing table, or explicit inspection criteria implies reliance on standard FAR compliance and the contractor’s adherence to the specified first article test process to satisfy acceptance requirements.
