CONTRACTOR FIRST ARTICLE TEST

The U.S. Defense Logistics Agency awarded contract SPEFA526P0121 to Wilson Precision Manufacturing LLC, identified by CAGE code 9XUD2, for a Contractor First Article Test and the supply of cable assemblies, with a total pre-cancellation value of $2,835. The contract, issued under NAICS code 541380 for engineering services, was structured with four line items: one for the first article test and three for cable assemblies, each priced at $405 per unit. The award was made on July 21, 2026, and the contracting officer, Marshelle Howlett of DLA Aviation, administered the contract from Richmond, Virginia, with support from DCMA SOUTH in Madison, Alabama. However, the contract was unilaterally canceled on the same day via modification P00001 under FAR 43.103(b) and FAR 13.004(c), as the contractor could not meet delivery schedules due to supply chain and economic constraints. The cancellation resulted in a no-cost settlement, terminating all obligations without financial penalty to either party, and all line items were reduced to zero quantity and value. No formal packaging, inspection, or acceptance criteria were documented in the modification, and critical Section K representations—including small business status, UEI, or socioeconomic certifications—were not provided or verified. While the contract type is inferred as firm-fixed-price based on context, it was not explicitly stated. The place of performance and FOB terms were not specified, and no invoicing method, payment office, or appropriation details beyond budget codes were defined. The contract’s technical specifications and quality standards remain undisclosed, and no evaluation factors, weights, or basis of award were provided in the public record.
