First Article Testing (FAT) for Wiring Harness

The contract requires the execution of First Article Testing for a military wiring harness to verify that the initial production unit meets all specified technical, design, and quality standards mandated for defense applications. This testing is critical to ensure consistency, reliability, and compliance with military specifications before full-scale production commences. The work is being conducted under a subcontract arrangement associated with the Defense Logistics Agency, operating under the Department of Defense, and falls under the NAICS code 541380 for other scientific and technical consulting services. The testing process must validate every aspect of the wiring harness performance under operational conditions, including electrical continuity, insulation integrity, dimensional accuracy, material conformity, and environmental resilience. The deliverables are expected to include detailed test reports demonstrating full adherence to requirements, with any deviations documented and addressed prior to approval. The contract was posted in July 2026 and is tied to a specific award identified through the DLA’s DIBBS system, indicating its integration into the broader defense supply chain under formal procurement oversight.
