GOVERNMENT FIRST ARTICLE TEST

The contract SPE4A726P3014, awarded on July 17, 2026, to LOBO VENTURES LTD (CAGE 1HC54) by the Defense Logistics Agency under solicitation SPE4A7-25-T-571H, has a total value of $134,000 and encompasses two primary deliverables: the Government First Article Test and the supply of an Aircraft Access Door (NSN 1560010715861). Performance is to be conducted at the contractor’s location in San Antonio, TX, with administrative oversight handled by DCMA South in Madison, AL, and contract administration managed by DLA Aviation in Richmond, VA. The contract is structured as a Firm Fixed Price arrangement with no option periods specified, and while quantities and unit pricing are not detailed in the available documentation, the total contract amount is confirmed. The award includes the mandatory incorporation of FAR 52.222-90, which prohibits discriminatory diversity, equity, and inclusion practices by contractors and requires flowdown to subcontractors, audit access, and reporting of violations or litigation involving subcontractors. Compliance with this clause, along with associated Executive Orders and OMB guidance, forms the central regulatory framework governing the contract, though no technical or manufacturing specifications, MIL-STDs, or detailed quality standards are explicitly provided. Inspection and acceptance responsibilities rest with the Government, with no formal location specified, and no COR or COTR details are identified. The contractor must submit required documentation and ensure compliance with federal DEI non-discrimination requirements, with all information and records subject to government review. No socioeconomic certifications, security clearance requirements, key personnel clauses, or OCI provisions are referenced, and while packaging, marking, or preservation standards are not detailed, compliance with broader federal acquisition regulations remains implied. Invoicing methods, payment office details, and appropriation data (AAC, TAS, ACRN) are not explicitly stated, and while submissions were guided by Standard Form 30, no formal proposal format limits or electronic portal mandates are prescribed beyond email submission to the contracting officer. The contract modification dated November 24, 2025, serves as the basis for inclusion of the DEI clause, and the absence of evaluation factors or award methodology documentation leaves the selection basis inferential, though the presence of a first article test and regulatory compliance obligations strongly suggest a best-value trade-off approach.
