CONTRACTOR FIRST ARTICLE TEST

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded contract SPE7M426P2067 to GREAT LAKES SOUND & VIBRATION INC, with a CAGE code of 3B6V7, for a total value of $73,300.00, effective July 15, 2026. The solicitation number is SPE7M4-26-T-5830, and the award results from a contract modification (P00002) issued under simplified acquisition procedures. The contract encompasses two line items: a Contractor First Article Test and a single metal tube assembly identified by NSN 4710011590424. Performance is to be conducted at the contractor’s location in Houghton, Michigan, with oversight administered by DCMA Great Lakes in Arlington Heights, Illinois, and financial administration handled by DLA Land and Maritime in Columbus, Ohio. The contracting officer is Michael Finken, reachable via email and phone, while the specific COTR is not named. The contract incorporates FAR 52.222-90, “Addressing DEI Discrimination by Federal Contractors,” under Deviation 2026-00040, which imposes compliance obligations regarding diversity, equity, and inclusion practices. The delivery is for one unit of each line item, with no options or ranges specified, and pricing details are not itemized beyond the total contract sum. No explicit period of performance, FOB terms, inspection or acceptance locations, or detailed quality standards such as MIL-STD are provided in the available documentation, though compliance with DLA logistics standards and the referenced NSN imply adherence to federal defense packaging and labeling conventions. The contractor is required to submit a Post Award Request through DIBBS for any issues, and communication is to occur via formal amendment channels or electronic means. The contract type is inferred as Firm Fixed Price based on the nature of the work and acquisition procedures, and while no socioeconomic status or size certifications are explicitly stated, the CAGE code confirms the awardee’s identity. The absence of Section M evaluation factors and attachments under Section J limits visibility into the award rationale and supplemental requirements, which may reside in unreferenced continuation sheets.
