CONTRACTOR FIRST ARTICLE TEST

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded Contract SPE7L726P0933 to Ohio Ordnance Works Inc. (CAGE 1V2A7) for a total value of $26,550.00, with an award date of July 16, 2026, under Solicitation SPE7L7-26-T-0769. The contract encompasses two line items: a Contractor First Article Test for the Plug, Gas Regulator (NSN 1005-01-033-3899) and the delivery of one unit of that gas regulator itself. Performance is expected to occur at the contractor’s facility in Chardon, Ohio, with delivery dates modified to August 17, 2026, for the plug and October 21, 2026, for the first article test. The contract reflects a formal modification under FAR 43.203(a)(3), executed via a signed SF 30 document, which adjusted delivery timelines and included a mutual agreement to waive claims. The procuring office is DLA Land and Maritime, with administrative oversight by DCMA Ohio River Valley at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. Invoicing is processed through the U.S. government’s standard payment systems with remittance directed to DLA Land and Maritime in Columbus, Ohio. While no explicit contract type is stated, the nature of the work—a first article test followed by production delivery—suggests a firm-fixed-price arrangement. Compliance with DLA logistical standards is implied through the use of NSNs and CAGE codes, though no specific MIL-STDs or packaging, marking, or barcoding requirements are explicitly defined in the documents provided. The contractor is required to submit test results for government approval prior to production, aligning with standard defense procurement practices for critical components. No socioeconomic set-aside, size status, or unique entity identifier details are publicly available in the record, and no contracting officer’s representative or technical representative are designated in the documentation. The contracting officer, Lorde Daring, is the sole point of contact listed with provided email and phone details, and no alternate clauses, option periods, or special requirements such as security clearances or conflicts of interest provisions are referenced. Although the evaluation methodology and basis of award are absent, the contract’s issuance as a sole-source award with modification supports a streamlined procurement process typical for small-dollar defense logistics actions.
