GOVERNMENT FIRST ARTICLE TEST

The contract awarded to POLYTRONIX, INC. (CAGE 2Y126) under number SPE4A726P4283, with a total value of $58,685.00 and an award date of July 21, 2026, is rooted in the solicitation SPE4A6-25-T-99K3 and primarily focuses on two key deliverables: the Government First Article Test and the supply of a Control Panel, Aircr. Performance is to be conducted at the contractor’s location in Richardson, Texas, with administrative oversight provided by the Defense Logistics Agency’s Aviation division in Richmond, Virginia, and contract administration handled by DCMA SOUTH in Madison, Alabama. The contract does not specify delivery schedules, quantities, unit pricing, FOB terms, or inspection locations, but it mandates compliance with FAR 52.222-90, which prohibits racially discriminatory diversity, equity, and inclusion practices in employment, subcontracting, and program participation. This requirement, implemented through DoD Class Deviation 2026-00040 Revision 1, is material to the contract and binds the contractor to flow down the clause to all U.S.-based subcontracts, report any subcontractor violations or legal challenges to the Contracting Officer, and provide immediate access to records upon request. Failure to comply may trigger liability under the False Claims Act. The contract type is not explicitly stated, but its nature as a first article test suggests a limited scope focused on technical evaluation rather than ongoing procurement. No packaging, preservation, or marking standards are specified in the documentation, nor are there details regarding invoicing methods, payment offices, COR/COTR assignments, or socioeconomic certifications. The contract includes no options, security clearance requirements, or key personnel clauses, and while the evaluation factors for award are not available, the award notice confirms receipt of a proposal meeting the regulatory and technical expectations defined under the modified FAR clause, with final acceptance subject to government inspection at an unstated location.
