GOVERNMENT FIRST ARTICLE TEST

The contract awarded to JKOZ ENGINEERING INC under solicitation SPE4A7-26-T-0855 and modified under contract SPE4A726P2924 with award date July 17, 2026, is a firm-fixed-price arrangement totaling $67,060.00 for the procurement of a COVER, UPPER designated by NSN 1680000792651 and the conduct of a Government First Article Test under NSN 0001S00000052. Performance is to be conducted at the contractor's facility in Blackstone, Virginia, with oversight administered by the Defense Contract Management Agency Southeast in Orlando, Florida, and payment processed through the DLA Aviation, ASC Commodities Division in Richmond, Virginia. The contracting officer, Dean Allen, is responsible for administration, though no Contracting Officer’s Representative is identified. The contract’s most significant and distinguishing feature is the mandatory inclusion of FAR 52.222-90, Addressing DEI Discrimination by Federal Contractors, implemented via a Department of Defense class deviation; this requires the contractor to prohibit discriminatory DEI practices in recruitment, employment, and subcontracting, flow the clause down to all U.S.-based subcontracts, report violations or legal challenges involving subcontractors, and face potential debarment or contract termination for noncompliance. No other standard contract clauses, packaging or inspection standards, or technical specifications beyond the item NSNs and compliance requirements are detailed. The solicitation was evaluated without published evaluation factors, suggesting a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable award methodology, though this is not officially confirmed. The NAICS code 332994 applies, and while the CAGE code 88NP5 identifies the small business status, no socioeconomic certifications are disclosed. Delivery and inspection locations remain unspecified beyond the contractor and overseeing agency addresses, and FOB terms are not defined. Invoicing is presumed to be through WAWF per DoD norms, though not explicitly stated. The contract contains no options, security clearance requirements, key personnel stipulations, or OCI clauses. The only identified submission requirements reference Standard Form 30 with electronic or hard copy submission permitted via email to the DLA contracting office, with no imposed page limits beyond the use of continuation sheets.
