CONTRACTOR FIRST ARTICLE TEST

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded Contract SPE4A626PA203 to Alamo Aircraft, Ltd. (CAGE 55345) on July 21, 2026, for a total value of $50,555.52 under solicitation SPE4A6-26-T-7503. The contract includes two line items: a First Article Test valued at $35,000 and the procurement of 3,120 shoulder bolts at $5.00 each, totaling $15,555.52. The work is performed under the NAICS code 541380 and is administered by DLA Aviation’s ASC Commodities Division in Richmond, Virginia, with contractual correspondence managed by Contracting Officer Dean Allen. The contract type is presumed firm-fixed-price given the fixed-line-item pricing and lack of options or cost-reimbursable elements. Performance location is implied to be at the contractor’s facility in San Antonio, Texas, though the official place of performance is not explicitly defined. First Article Testing is required to validate compliance with technical and quality standards prior to full production, though specific technical specifications or military standards are not detailed in the available documentation. The contract incorporates FAR 52.222-90, Addressing DEI Discrimination by Federal Contractors, as modified under DoD Class Deviation 2026-00040, which prohibits racially or ethnically discriminatory diversity, equity, and inclusion practices in employment and subcontracting activities. The contractor must report violations by subcontractors, provide records upon request, and notify the Contracting Officer if a subcontractor challenges the clause in court; this clause flows down to all subcontracts except those performed entirely outside the United States. No other special requirements such as security clearances, key personnel, options, or conflict of interest provisions are evident. While the award date is July 21, 2026, the effective date of performance and delivery schedule remain unspecified, and FOB terms are not defined. Inspection and acceptance locations, packaging requirements, invoicing methods, and COR/COTR appointments are not disclosed in the available information. The contractor is required to comply with federal reporting obligations tied to its CAGE code, but no socioeconomic status or UEI data is provided. Electronic communication via DIBBS and email is used for administrative modifications, but no details on electronic invoicing systems like WAWF are
