CONTRACTOR FIRST ARTICLE TEST

The contract awarded to Maney Aircraft, Inc. (CAGE 10000) under DLA award SPE7M426P1741, issued on July 15, 2026, encompasses a total value of $160,000 and is rooted in solicitation SPE7M4-26-Q-0171. The scope of work centers on two key line items: a Contractor First Article Test for NSN/Part 0001S00000053 and the production of a Tube Assembly, Metal identified by NSN 4710012909931. This modification, designated P00002, builds upon an original contract dated January 13, 2026, and was administratively executed under FAR 13.302(a) and 12.303(a), indicating a simplified acquisition procedure. The contract requires successful completion of the First Article Test to validate design, materials, and manufacturing readiness, though specific technical criteria for inspection or acceptance are not detailed in the available documentation. Packaging and labeling are expected to comply with MIL-STD-129 due to the use of National Stock Numbers and standard DLA logistics protocols, while delivery and performance locations are not formally specified beyond the contractor’s facility in Ontario, California and administrative oversight by DCMA Southern California in Carson, California. The contract incorporates FAR 52.222-90, “Addressing DEI Discrimination by Federal Contractors,” as amended under Deviation 2026-00040, Revision 1, effective April 2026, requiring the contractor to affirm compliance with Department of Defense DEI directives. No socioeconomic status certifications, security clearance requirements, key personnel obligations, or option clauses are indicated. Payment and invoicing mechanisms—whether through WAWF, IPP, or other systems—are not explicitly stated, and specific accounting data such as TAS, AAC, or ACRN lines are absent. The contracting officer is Micheal Finken, reachable through DLA Land and Maritime, Maritime Supply Chain in Columbus, Ohio, while oversight is administered by DCMA Southern California.
