First Article Testing (FAT) Services for Precision Gauges

The contract requires the execution of First Article Testing on two manufactured precision pressure gauges to confirm adherence to specified technical and quality standards before initiating full-scale production. The testing must validate that the gauges meet all functional, dimensional, and performance requirements outlined in the technical documentation, ensuring product reliability and compliance with defense-grade specifications. This activity serves as a critical quality gate to prevent defects from entering the production stream and to validate manufacturing processes. The work is associated with subcontract under NAICS code 541380, managed by the ASC SUPPLIER OPER OEM DIVISION under the Department of Defense, with performance expected to take place in BREMERTON, WA, 98314-6001. Responses must be submitted by May 20, 2026, following the solicitation posted on May 12, 2026. This effort is part of a broader quality assurance framework for defense-critical instrumentation, demanding strict documentation, traceability, and reporting of test results to support formal acceptance and readiness for subsequent manufacturing phases.
