CONTRACTOR FIRST ARTICLE TEST

The U.S. Defense Logistics Agency awarded Contract SPE7M226P1499 to CAPY MACHINE SHOP INC. with CAGE code 0BVP9 on July 15, 2026, for a total value of $191,429.75 under Solicitation SPE7M2-26-Q-0093. The contract encompasses three line items: a Contractor First Article Test, a miscellaneous item, and a cover assembly for aircraft identified by NSN 1560016683317. The award was issued as a unilateral modification under FAR 13.302(a), suggesting administrative or minor technical adjustments. While the contract’s overall scope centers on validating initial production samples through the First Article Test, specific quantities, unit prices, delivery schedules, and place of performance are not detailed in the available documentation. The contracting office is DLA Land and Maritime’s Fluid Handling Division, with administrative oversight handled by DCMA Northeast at Hanscom AFB, and payments are processed through DLA’s designated office in Columbus, Ohio. The contract incorporates FAR 52.222-90, a recently issued deviation clause addressing DEI discrimination, which imposes requirements on the contractor’s policies regarding diversity, equity, and inclusion practices. No other special requirements such as security clearances, key personnel mandates, or option periods were identified, and no formal packaging, marking, or inspection standards like MIL-STDs were referenced despite the presence of NSNs and barcoded line items. The contractor is a small business under NAICS 332710, but no socioeconomic certifications or affirmative representations beyond the DEI clause are documented. The basis of award, evaluation factors, and source selection methodology remain unspecified, though the fixed-price nature of the transaction and the context of First Article Testing suggest a Firm-Fixed-Price contract type. All communications and submissions occur through the DIBBS portal, with no details provided on invoicing methods, remittance instructions, or technical specifications beyond the reference to a continuation sheet not included in the records.
