GOVERNMENT FIRST ARTICLE TEST

The U.S. Defense Logistics Agency awarded Contract SPE4A526P2952 to TOP FLIGHT AEROSTRUCTURES, INC. (CAGE 419Y2) on July 21, 2026, for a total value of $154,992.00 under Solicitation SPE4A5-26-T-4588. The contract requires the performance of a Government First Article Test and delivery of a PANEL, FLAP, WING component, with the work to be performed at the contractor’s facility in Dallas, Georgia. The contract incorporates FAR 52.222-90, “Addressing DEI Discrimination by Federal Contractors,” under DoD Deviation 2026-00040, Revision 1, which prohibits racially discriminatory practices in employment and subcontracting and mandates immediate notification to the Contracting Officer of any noncompliance, including issues arising from subcontractors. The clause is flow-down required to all subcontracts performed within the United States. Performance is governed by the standard contract modification framework under FAR 43.203(b), and the award was made to a firm with a NAICS code of 541380, though no socioeconomic status or size certification is documented. The contracting officer is Dean Allen, reachable via CARL.ALLEN@DLA.MIL, while the administrative office is DLA Aviation, ASC Commodities Division in Richmond, Virginia. The payment office is likewise located in Richmond, though specific accounting data such as AAC, TAS, or ACRN are not provided. Inspection and acceptance protocols, packaging standards, and FOB terms are not explicitly outlined in the documentation, nor are detailed quantities, unit prices, or delivery schedules provided for the line items. The contract includes no option periods or additional funding beyond the base award, and no formal evaluation factors or basis of award criteria are visible in the materials, though the nature of a First Article Test suggests a focus on technical acceptability. The work is conducted within the United States, and compliance with the DEI clause is considered material to payment under 31 U.S.C. 3729(b)(4).
