CONTRACTOR FIRST ARTICLE TEST

The U.S. Defense Logistics Agency awarded a fixed-price contract to Jamaica Bearings Co., Inc. (CAGE 04836) for $38,900.00 under solicitation SPE4A7-25-T-780T, with an award date of April 2, 2026. The contract encompasses two line items: Contractor First Article Test and Production Lot Testing for a bypass valve assembly, with a fixed quantity of 20 units at a unit price of $1,945.00 and no permissible variation. Performance is to occur at the contractor’s facility in New Hyde Park, New York, with inspection and acceptance also conducted at origin. The contract mandates compliance with MIL-STD-129 for marking, MIL-STD-130 for Unique Item Identification including machine-readable data per ISO/IEC 15434 and ANSI MH 10.8.2, and MIL-STD-2073-1E and DLA RP001 for packaging and preservation. FOB destination terms apply, and payment must be processed exclusively through Wide Area WorkFlow (WAWF). The contractor is designated as a Small Disadvantaged Business and Women-Owned Small Business and is subject to stringent cybersecurity requirements under DFARS 252.204-7012, which includes safeguarding controlled unclassified information and reporting cyber incidents within 72 hours. Additional requirements include adherence to SAE AS9100 quality standards, flowdown of ISO 9001:2015 to subcontractors, supply chain traceability documentation retention, and compliance with Defense Priorities and Allocations System (DPAS) rating. The contract incorporates numerous FAR and DFARS clauses including Termination for Convenience, Default, inspection of supplies, whistleblower protections, contractor code of conduct, and antiterrorism awareness training. A deviation was applied to clause 252.204-7012. The award, while not explicitly labeled as LPTA, reflects a simplified acquisition approach given the fixed price, minor scope, and lack of formal evaluation factors. All items must be marked with Lot Number, Serial Number, Contract Number, and specific warnings if designated as test samples, and must be submitted to the DoD IUID Registry.
