CONTRACTOR FIRST ARTICLE TEST

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded Contract SPE4A726P6097 to PARAMOUNT MACHINE COMPANY, INC. (CAGE 2T575) on July 21, 2026, for a total price of $44,667.91 under Solicitation SPE4A7-26-T-2808. The contract encompasses two key deliverables: a Contractor First Article Test and the supply of a Scoop, Bearing with NSN 2840003453342, with performance to occur at the contractor’s facility in Manchester, Connecticut, and administrative oversight managed by DCMA Northeast at Hanscom Air Force Base, Massachusetts. The contract was issued as a modification (P00001) to an existing order dated February 3, 2026, and incorporates FAR 52.222-90, Addressing DEI Discrimination by Federal Contractors, Revision 1, as implemented through DoD Class Deviation 2026-00040, which mandates the contractor to prohibit any racially or sex-based discriminatory practices in employment through DEI programs, requires flow-down of this clause to all subcontracts, and imposes reporting obligations on the contractor regarding noncompliance by subcontractors or legal challenges to the clause. No specific packaging, marking, inspection criteria, or technical specifications beyond compliance with FAR and DFARS are detailed, though reliance on MIL-STD-129 and MIL-STD-2073 is inferred due to the DLA context. The contracting officer is Dean Allen, with no named COTR identified. No detailed pricing structure, delivery schedule, FOB terms, invoicing method, or accounting data is provided, and the source selection methodology—whether LPTA or trade-off—is not disclosed. The NAICS code 541380 (Engineering Services) is listed, but no socioeconomic status or size representation is confirmed. While Section J references attachments and Section M includes evaluation factors, neither contains usable details, and the contract type remains unspecified. The award represents a fixed-price, non-option, completed transaction with no indication of future increments or extensions.
