First Article Testing (FAT) Services

The contract requires the performance and support of First Article Testing for manufactured ducts, ensuring all test procedures are completed accurately and all resulting documentation is submitted to the government. This includes verifying that the initial production units meet specified design and performance requirements before full-scale manufacturing proceeds. The work must be carried out in compliance with government standards and timelines, with full transparency in reporting outcomes. This effort is critical for quality assurance and regulatory compliance in defense-related supply chains. This is a Small Business Set-Aside subcontract under the NAICS code 541330, reserved exclusively for small businesses as defined by the SBA. The opportunity is managed by the Department of Defense through the ASC SUPPLIER OPER AE AND AF DIV, with performance required at Robins AFB, Georgia, 31098-1887. Interested parties must respond by the deadline of August 17, 2026, and should be prepared to demonstrate technical capability, procedural rigor in testing, and experience in supporting government manufacturing verification processes. The subcontract nature implies the successful bidder will likely work under a prime contractor but must still meet all federal compliance and documentation obligations directly.
