CONTRACTOR FIRST ARTICLE TEST

The contract, awarded to A&M AEROSTRUCTURES, INC. under solicitation SPE7L124P1088 and issued by the Defense Logistics Agency, encompasses two primary line items: a Contractor First Article Test and the delivery of an Evacuator, Bore, with a total pre-termination value of $54,000. The awardee, identified by CAGE code 9D1B0, was performing work primarily from its facility in Jacksonville, Florida, while contract administration was managed by DCMA Southeast in Orlando, Florida, and payments processed through the DLA Land and Maritime office in Columbus, Ohio. The contract was terminated for default on March 25, 2026, via modification P00003, which canceled both CLINs and extinguished all obligations, with FAR 52.249-8 cited as the governing clause. The NAICS code 541380 indicates professional engineering services, and while certain administrative and logistical elements such as NSN 1025-00-233-9045 and SF 30 usage were present, specific technical specifications, packaging standards, inspection criteria, or quality controls were not explicitly detailed in the provided documentation. The contracting officer, Jessica Ramsey, served as the primary point of contact with no designated COTR or COR named, and invoicing and payment procedures were not formally outlined beyond the implied use of standard DoD financial protocols. The contract contained no certified socioeconomic status or size representation, and while reference to MIL-STD-2073 and MIL-STD-129 was inferred through the use of NSN and CAGE data, no formal citation of material or preservation standards was provided. All performance periods, delivery schedules, FOB terms, and option details were left undefined, and the original solicitation contained no disclosed evaluation factors or selection criteria, making the award and subsequent termination purely administrative in nature based on contractual compliance and default provisions.
