The contract SPE4A726P6824, awarded by the Defense Logistics Agency to WECKWORTH MANUFACTURING, INC (CAGE 9J595) on July 21, 2026, encompasses the production and delivery of two items: a Deployment Bag, PARA (NSN 1670006850740) and a Government First Article Test (NSN 0001S00000052), with a total contract value of $30,754.64.
