First Article Inspection (FAI) Testing Services

The contract requires the performance of a complete First Article Inspection (FAI) for a defense component, encompassing rigorous dimensional verification, material certification, and full compliance with military standards, specifically AS9102. This includes detailed documentation of all inspection results to ensure the component meets exacting quality and specifications required for defense applications, with every step of the process validated and recorded to confirm conformity before production-scale manufacturing proceeds. The work is classified as a subcontract under the NAICS code 332999 and is managed by the Defense Logistics Agency under the Department of Defense, with performance obligations tied to the contract identifier SPE7L424P2038. All testing and documentation must align with the stringent requirements of defense supply chains, ensuring traceability, repeatability, and adherence to regulatory frameworks governing defense-grade components. The contract does not specify a geographic location for performance, but execution must meet all applicable federal and military specifications without deviation. The solicitation was posted in July 2026, indicating this is a forthcoming procurement requiring qualified subcontractors capable of delivering certified FAI packages that support defense readiness and procurement milestones.
