CONTRACTOR FIRST ARTICLE TEST

The contract awarded to JANELS INDUSTRIES INC under contract number SPE4A626P8036, issued by the Defense Logistics Agency on July 17, 2026, has a total value of $331,525.00 and encompasses two primary line items: a Contractor First Article Test and a Wiring Harness, Branched. The work is performed at the contractor’s facility in Dowagiac, Michigan, with administrative oversight provided by DCMA Ohio River Valley at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base and contracting authority vested in DLA Aviation in Richmond, Virginia. The contract was awarded under solicitation SPE4A6-26-T-8748, and while detailed pricing, quantities, and delivery schedules are not specified, the fixed-price nature of the award suggests a definitive cost structure for the required deliverables. The contract includes mandatory compliance with FAR 52.222-90, a recently implemented clause prohibiting racially discriminatory DEI practices, which requires the contractor to flow down this requirement to all subcontracts (except those performed outside the U.S.), report any subcontractor violations or legal challenges, and maintain records subject to government audit. Noncompliance with this clause is considered material to payment and may trigger False Claims Act liability, termination, or suspension. The government retains oversight responsibility, though specific COR or COTR details are not provided, and no formal inspection criteria or packaging specifications are documented. The contracting officer, Dean Allen, is the sole point of contact for administrative and compliance matters, with electronic submission via email accepted. No evaluation factors, socioeconomic certifications, or option periods are disclosed, and invoicing systems, payment office details, or accounting codes are not specified, leaving the execution framework largely dependent on compliance with the stipulated regulatory clause and the successful delivery of the two enumerated items.
