CONTRACTOR FIRST ARTICLE TEST

The contract SPE4A726P3737, awarded by the Defense Logistics Agency to UNION MACHINE COMPANY OF LYNN, INC. (CAGE 51992), is valued at $30,667.20 and was issued on July 17, 2026, under solicitation SPE4A7-25-T-723B. The work involves three primary deliverables: Contractor First Article Testing, production of an Aircraft Fan Shroud identified by NSN 2840013887482, and Production Lot Testing, all performed at the contractor’s facility in Groveland, Massachusetts. The contract modification P00001 implements FAR 52.222-90, “Addressing DEI Discrimination by Federal Contractors,” as authorized by DoD Class Deviation 2026-00040, Revision 1, and aligned with Executive Orders 14275, 14265, 14398, and OMB Memorandum M-25-26. This clause prohibits the contractor from engaging in or funding any Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion activities that discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, or national origin, with mandatory reporting of subcontractor noncompliance and full flowdown requirements to all subcontracts performed within the United States. Noncompliance may result in contract cancellation, termination for default, suspension, or debarment. The government retains final inspection and acceptance authority, with no specific inspection criteria, quality standards, or packaging requirements detailed in the available documentation. Payment is managed by DLA Aviation in Richmond, Virginia, with Dean Allen as the contracting officer, though no Contracting Officer’s Technical Representative is identified. The NAICS code 541380 is listed, but no formal small business size status or socioeconomic certifications are confirmed. No FOB terms, delivery schedules beyond the modification effective date of July 17, 2026, or contract type are explicitly stated, and there are no option periods, extended quantities, or attachments referenced. The award appears to be a fixed-price action focused on compliance and quality assurance for a single aerospace component, with broad regulatory obligations tied to DEI compliance as the primary special requirement.
