GOVERNMENT FIRST ARTICLE TEST

The contract awarded to SSI TECHNOLOGY INC under solicitation SPE4A623PYR28 by the Defense Logistics Agency, specifically through DLA Aviation, involves the procurement of two critical defense-related items: a Government First Article Test for NSN 0001S00000052 and a Circuit Card Assembly for NSN 5998014365290. Although the original order was canceled due to missed delivery deadlines, the contract was re-awarded with an effective date of July 21, 2026, and the award notice indicates that the total contract price is to be confirmed in the award documentation. The contracting officer, Sharon Henley, retains authority over administration and contract management from DLA Aviation’s office in Richmond, Virginia, with no designated Contracting Officer’s Representative or technical representative identified. The work is linked to engineering services under NAICS code 541380, and compliance with FAR 43.103(b) and FAR 43.203(b) governs administrative modifications, indicating that changes to the contract are initiated through formal amendment processes. The Government retains full authority for inspection and acceptance, with implied adherence to FAR Part 46 requirements for first article testing, though specific technical standards, inspection criteria, or quality metrics are not detailed in the available documentation. The place of performance remains unspecified, though the contractor is located in Sterling Heights, Michigan, and the contracting office is in Richmond, Virginia, with no clear FOB terms, delivery schedules, or period of performance defined beyond the award date. Previous pricing data referenced a total of $30,000, but the current line items show zero quantities and zero pricing due to cancellation, meaning the updated financial value is not disclosed. Packaging, marking, and preservation requirements are absent from the documentation, with no reference to MIL-STD-129 or similar standards. No representations or certifications regarding small business status, socioeconomic programs, or entity size are provided, beyond the CAGE code 51819, and no affirmative statements regarding compliance with socioeconomic requirements are present. The contract relies on standard federal acquisition administration procedures using the SF-30 modification form, with no option clauses, special security requirements, or organizational conflict of interest provisions identified. Invoicing methods, payment office details, and accounting codes such as the BX and AA lines are mentioned in continuation sheets, but formal invoicing systems or remittance
