CONTRACTOR FIRST ARTICLE TEST

The contract SPE4A626PB323, awarded to MP AERO LLC (CAGE 73F14) by the Defense Logistics Agency on July 21, 2026, is a $19,810.00 modification under solicitation SPE4A6-26-T-091W, primarily focused on implementing compliance with FAR 52.222-90, addressing discrimination in Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion programs. This clause, issued under DoD Class Deviation 2026-00040 Revision 1, mandates that the contractor refrain from discriminatory DEI practices and flow the requirement down to all subcontracts at any tier, with exceptions only for performance outside the United States. The contractor must report any known violations by subcontractors and notify the Contracting Officer of legal challenges to the clause. The work involves a Contractor First Article Test and the production of a Wiring Harness, Bran, with performance occurring at MP AERO LLC’s facility in Valencia, California. The contract is administered by DLA Aviation in Richmond, Virginia, with DCMA Southern California overseeing contract performance. No explicit packaging, inspection criteria, or technical specifications are provided beyond regulatory compliance, and while the contract value is entirely allocated to the First Article Test, pricing for the Wiring Harness is listed as $0.00. The contracting officer is Dean Allen, with no designated COR or COTR identified. The award is likely under simplified acquisition procedures given the low dollar value, though the exact contract type is not specified. Submission and compliance requirements are tied to SF-30 modifications and adherence to Executive Orders and OMB memoranda related to federal contractor DEI policies. All contractual obligations are domestic, with no international performance elements.
